I don't believe there is a political crisis in Egypt. Analysts don't understand democracy.

Egypt analysts warn of new political crisis brewing (click here)

By Sarah Lynch and Aamer Madhani, USA TODAY

CAIRO – Egypt's ruling military council reaffirmed on Monday that it will transfer power to civilian authority by the end of the month, but Egypt analysts warn that the nation could be teetering toward another political crisis as a standoff brews between the interim military rulers and Islamists....

To begin with Islamist is not a bad word except in USA Right Wing politics. Secondly, political races are not 'armed' events. There is only one side of the issues in Egypt with munitions. Basically, the Egyptian people are moving forward and receiving resistance by the old regime. That is no surprise, okay? Quite frankly, it adds to stability of the country as transition goes forward.


I do believe the demonstrators are back out on the streets verbalizing their complaints. The current military establishment simply needs to respect that and considering the President is sympathetic to the demonstrators there should not be problems.


The tightening of the military is simply a short term reasonable solution to a long term problem. The new President doesn't have vast experience in international affairs or understanding the military power available within Egypt. The military has done a favor to the new President. They have secured Egypt's power while the neighborhood is still feeling secure. The new President needs to reach out to the international community to make it well known their foreign policies and how he will resolve the dual authority currently within Egypt. This is a matter of sane and safe transition for the Egyptian people and its neighborhood.
