“Democracy” is not a Republic based on the recognition of certain inalienable political rights. Its mob rule.
The English forefathers of America - not their degenerate socialist descendants - experimented with democratic and republican ideas for a very long before the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written.
In some societies and cultures there has been no prior experience of self-rule and any “democratic” movement inevitably leads to the mob just selecting a new master.
My guess is this is what is happening in Egypt right now. They are unhappy with the present dictator due to miserable economic conditions and brutal oppression, and will exchange their old master for a new one.
Its the Islamic way as Islam is totally incompatible with a Republican concept of government based on individual rights, which is the only successful form of “democracy”.
UP UNTIL NOW, the U.S. has been the most successful practitioner of this, and Egypt is no more likely to produce a real Democracy than was the France of Robespierre or the Russian government of Kerensky.
Pessimistic, but dead accurate IMO.

Exactly. All this talk of Democracy for the people of Egypt is pabulum for dimwits and liberals. The democracy they are going to get is a MB democracy. One party Democracies like Syria or Lebanon.
This is consolidation and strengthening of Islamic fundamentalism, and will result in war.
