What else should Egyptians do to ensure the Mubarak era is over? How to keep the revolutionary spirit alive? Will the newly elected parties fulfill their promises under SCAF? When will the Council transfer power to civilian rule? Will there be any reason for the military to stay in power? And why aren’t the secular democratic parties as popular as the West would like them to be? Bradley Blakeman and David Faros analyze the events that changed the Middle East, a year on.

I suppose Peter Lavell`s American background is useful......but surely it`s time we faced the grim truth that the CIA have run Egypt for over fifty years and have tortured and executed people like Sayyid Qutb...presumably as part of a regional strategy designed to show the Arabs the Israel`s westernised Jews are the boss.
So to talk (as "our" politicians and media do) about Egypt being an independent nation...... where election results will really mean a lot ........could be deceptive and dishonest. Even the concept of the Muslim Brotherhood originated in the minds of the British.
How about pulling NGO`s like Soros, and the CIA, out of the Middle East .....and making the democracy we PRETEND to be encouraging something real....... rather than secret imperialism?
