Egypt has been in the headlines a lot recently following the anti-government uprising early this year. After this latest incident, one wonders whether the people of Egypt are in any state to have democratic elections. Will these elections cause different political supporters to do more then just disagree?
The question in everyone's mind is the choice between freedom and control. Sure the over thrown president, Hosni Mubarak, was a ruthless dictator but from an outside view the different factions of Egypt were under control. Though this is only a perspective based on what makes it to the media.
What do you think? Is the Egyptian democracy going to be a success?
Personally I think that it wont. Currently the military have control and I think it's going to be a struggle for them to give up their power.

Like most things, this isnt going to be solved quickley. I reckon its going to be the same for Yeman Saudi Arabia and Lybia with thier revolutions.

Ugh, its hard to say, history is always bad for new democracy, they dont get rid of the totalitarism so fast.
ReplyDeleteLike you said, they kind of needed that kind of leader to keep them inline. Look what happened after the riots, both sides were fine after a while then the infighting started.
ReplyDeleteThey seem so prone to chaos.
Great article.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's a success, but I can't help but envisage serious problems en-route.
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff.
ReplyDeleteWell you know what, with all the revolution we see, people think its good for the people, but no it isnt, i know some people, and they are so happy because now they can buy lands really cheap, revolution made the price of everything go down, and peoples salary too, so no its not nice for them but for some people it is really good
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome
ReplyDeletePolitics ruin our daily lives
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know what to answer to whether or not I think it will be a success. I'm all for democracy, but often the stupid outnumber the intelligent..
ReplyDeleteI think we should stop trying to convert everyone to the way we do things. People are different and thus cannot be governed the same way.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that Egypt is ready for a democratic election. Let the people cool down and wait for a true leader come to the forefront first.
ReplyDeleteMubarak wasn't an idiot like the situation that we have with Gadhafi. Mubarak, while of course not wanting to lose power was able to come to terms with the situation at hand and the realization that his people wanted change. He worked to facilitate that for them - not easily of course.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Egypt will work out good. But then again, I'm a pessimist.
ReplyDeleteI'd hope that Egypt would work out, the people seem to really want what's best for themselves and their country
ReplyDeletei think egypt at least will be a success.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I hope things work out well, but who knows. Human nature is inherently fucktardish.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it will be, but I hope it is.
ReplyDeleteLike the blog, follow'd.
I hope it will be successful, we shall see.
ReplyDeleteLike Mike said, I hope it will succeed also. But I dont know
ReplyDeleteLooks like all the Arabic states are going to hell >_>
ReplyDeleteI home a populist democratic, secular movement takes hold. And while I'm wishing, I'd like a 370Z.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this could do good?
ReplyDeletewe can only wish eygpt the best of luck :)
ReplyDeleteIt will just end up corrupt, despite being a democracy.
ReplyDeleteWe can at least hope that it does - I doubt it will succeed on the merits by which we assess first world democracies however.
