solution is compromise, if indeed the military has a shot at taking control, the beards will have to listen to the street as going back to the past is the worst thing that can happen now.
you know your stuff Deneb!! this is the plan that baradie seems to be trying to achieve although he is now one of the biggest victims of the media machine that now is in the hands of beardies. i need to point out that your point of view is spot on i just want to add there is a power that makes this indeed very possible and i think its a matter of time, its the relationship between the pentagon and the military here. note: just yesterday egypt received another patch of f-16's and this deal needs to be put in perspective, lets not forget egypts main supplier is the US, despite purchases from other parts but the US remains the main ally and if history teaches us sth, mubarack was let go bec the military cared more about this tie with the us, and rather risk mubarak than risk this bond that ties both armed forces.. i'd welcome such a compromise if you ask me, and like you said the worst nightmare for the beardies is the past, you can tell by how they r reacting now. the amount of paranoia and mis-trust is epic and shows they rather die than go back to the jails.
here is a scene to back up your point of view and why i think its very possible. last week there were massive riots in the suez canal cities namely portsaid, suez, and ismaliya and the president after thanking the police ( you should know 50 people where killed in one day innocent citizens) and issuing his commands to send the military to the streets and call for a curfew. note the curfew was never imposed by the military to the degree the soliders the the people striking started a football match and despite a much failed year and a half transition period led by the military council, egyptains have much love for there army and hence why i think this is theory can very much materialize should strikes keep up.
I hate to be a buzzkill Bisco, but I just can't see where Egypt is going to go from here. It's such a fucked up situation.
its not a buzz kill nz, sadly its reality. the problems apart from the ones i discussed with deneb, we have a massive conflict between generations if i may put it this way. the youth on one hand and the parents generation see things differently. here you have the youth who see a model for egypt that best suits them after all its our generation that will take over and i think rightfully so. our parents generations accepted tyranny, and accepted corruption and where always frightened to speak up against it where as this generation was exposed to the world, to several visions of how back wards out country is despite it being a very rich country by its people, and natural resources which are wasted due to poor planning. the idea's you hear from the youth are epic and they have a plan sadly they r not given the chance. you find political groups claiming it as a right to taking a shot to running the country and note all of them are nearing the end of there life and are a step away from being laid in the ground. beardies well what can i say i think they r the cancer in this countries body, and when i say this i dont mean religious people are horrible people no, but political islam is an insult to islam and this is coming from a muslim i simply dont agree with dragging islam into politics bec it simply does not belong in it specially in a game like politics where there are no rules or laws of ethics. we shall see though i have;nt given up but i must confess i've grown depressed of this country and like many people with moderate belief in religion, and dreams of a better future bec seriously this country deserves it. its not bec i'm egyptain, if any thing i've been born and raised out side of egypt and it wasnt for uni i most probably would come here only for summer holidays. people here are generous, yes we have horrible people but like any country you need to se ehow poverty and piss poor education shapes up how people react and interact with others. hopefully the future is bright just not the near future i'm afraid until the dust from this revolution settles. this revolution is not over infact i think its far from over and thats pretty normal it usually takes time for revolutions, specially ones like this to reap its fruits and fulfil its promise.
