Egyptian Government and the Protests

The New York Times: Reports that the Government of Egypt has offered its resignation to the Egyptian Military, after according to official figures 23 deaths another 1,500 protesters wounded since the fresh demonstrations. The Army Elite folks are not going to just give up their power, also the West has no interest in allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to gain power in Egypt, that would be a disaster in the long term for Egypt and the Middle East, no matter their PR, the Brotherhood is a threat to Israel and the peace deal between Egypt and Israel. This blog supports peaceful protest, but lets be honest here folks, Egypt was never going to have a Western Democracy, no matter how may Egyptians are on Facebook or Twitter, that’s not the real world. An Egyptian Democracy that benefits Egypt and the wider region would allow political, economic, social freedoms to the young, but the Army would prevent Egypt becoming an Islamic State, the US would pull all funding then, lets recall Egypt get a few billions each year from the US, and lot of that goes to the Army. In odd way the China model would be good for Egypt, freedoms on the economic front, but the Army protecting the security of the State and the region. This blog speaks truth to power but also to brave protesters, that is the real world folks, this is not the 1960s.
