the military and the hard place

young..."
National analysis: : the real
revolution -- a la Tunisia -- is
yet
to come...
MERIP analysis: "the hybrid
military-civilian deep state and
its manipulations that
could
be the greatest cause for
worry...."

Elections and
the transition period -- a CNN
analysis...
Astute
analysis of the brotherhood's political
maneuvering: "If the Brotherhood feels that it must move to the center -- to
reassure liberal skeptics and the international community -- then it will. If it
feels it needs to move to the right -- to compete with Salafis -- then it will
do that instead. But it could also do both, conceding some things to liberals
while reasserting religious credentials to rally its conservative base. Already,
this is the approach -- whether by design or default -- for which the
Brotherhood appears to be opting."

site, which he still edits, ranks 22,000 in global Google
popularity. But if it were created today would it stand any chance
of becoming popular?"
