I read it. I read it slow and with intent to comprehend.

It was very informative. Perhaps it’s because I’m an American and can’t get my mind around the concept of military rule, but a lot of it is still vague. to me.

I followed it through all the events that led to the street riots and I understood.

Came the time to describe Egypt’s recent evolution, I got confused.

Again, the notion of the army ruling boggles my mind. I sure can understand Egypt’s admiration of its army, we also admire our army. But an army ruling the country? I don’t see how this happens, how it would work.

Love how he calls El Bareidi “CNN’s chosen replacement” for Mubarak and appreciate that this former UN weapons inspector is a nobody in Egypt, utterly disdained by the Egyptians. Gotta love our media, heh, THEY’re going to decide who replaces Mubaral and they’ve chosen El Bareidi.

I also am unclear on what a “close economy” is and what a “technocrat” is. Maybe in time and more reading I’ll understand it.

I did not know that Mubarak is, literally, dying, as the writer asserts.

Seems to me that the writer’s conclusion is that nobody really knows where it’ll all end, probably by army rule.

If we had some REAL leadership in Washington, this would be a hell of a chance for America to jump in and help guide this country to a democracy.

But we all know Clinton, Obama, et al, will only work to make it all benefit THEM and their Marxist colleagues.
