Have been watching the developments in Egypt with interest, one can see that as a news story its going down the pecking order, at the end of the day in a revolution you have to have a result one way or another, so far, its still a Mexican standoff, the Mubarak Government is giving concessions but not enough for the protesters in Liberation Square and the West in honesty just wishes it would go away, from the Oval to Number 10 they can not afford another Iran 1979.
Guardian: Reports that the Muslim Brotherhood have given President Mubarak a week to resign. The more the radical elements come in to play the more the West will want the Army of Egypt to take control, the Army has to much to lose just to give up power, the US might say it wants transfer of power to Democracy, but in reality it wants a transfer that keeps Western interest are they are now, from Israel to the War on Terror. One has take one’s had off to Mubarak, he has played the protesters, they will get tired sooner or later, they have to eat, the West just wants peace in the region, and a symbolic Egypt that has the spin of Democracy but with the Army in charge.
