funny that the article focuses only on 'democracy' while ignoring the obvious -- that the main reason the americans have kept quiet and propped up the regime is because of the Islamic Brotherhood. If there were democratic elections in egypt the Islamic Brotherhood would probably be in power.
The americans made the same mistake in Somalia when the Islamic Kadhi Courts came to power 5 years ago -- they were the most likely to bring some semblance of order. The americans decided to setup a puppet regime involving criminals and christian ethiopians... The end result now is total anarchy and an epidemic of piracy in the indian ocean. History(and stupidity) repeats itself.
