Egypt revolution, take two.

Basically, the revolution of February toppled Mubarak, but left the establishment alone.
Abuse against population was still widespread, and the perpetrator left alone.
After a few month of it, the people are fed up and ready to revolt again.

It will be very interesting, because this time, the muslim brotherhood will probably be on the side of the government, or at least the senior member of the brotherhood. They fear the democrats and feminist common in the revolutionaries.

This could turn sour very quickly, as no power in the region would want a real democracy to appear.

Egypt will probably end up like Pakistan, except without the nukes.  Whatever Christians are still living there will probably flee the country or end up dead.

Cool cynicism Bouchart, but I'm pretty sure the democratic protesters aren't going to turn around and massacre the Egyptian Christians after fighting for a just government, especially now that the Muslim Brotherhood might very well be on the chopping block as well.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.
