I have to admit that I'm a bit cynical when it comes to situations such as this. Normally I would say that it is never a good thing for the military to hold power within a country. However, I have had complete faith in the Egyptians since the protests first started. Even when many political analysts were saying that it would be impossible for the Egyptians to carry out a revolution similar to the Tunisians, I kept faith that they would. Not only were they able to pull it off, they required fewer days to do so. <br /><br />I do not trust the military. While many praised their actions (or inaction) during the protests, I think they failed to act in the best interest of the protestors. Sure, there were some emotional moments shared by individual Egyptian troops and protesters, but they were obviously acting on orders to attempt to dissuade the protesters also. <br /><br />I think the military realizes they have a beast on their hands that they are unable to control in the form of the revolutionary movement though. I believe they will fulfill their promise to hand over power to a civilian government, fair elections will be held, and the constitution will be reformed or entirely re-written. <br /><br />I only hope that I'm not proven wrong.Zer0_IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198889581230275413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34659035.post-29637283582676431002011-02-12T15:18:30.199-08:002011-02-12T15:18:30.199-08:00Excellent post NØ.

Thanks for sharing this.<br /><br />Also- I too have been following the course of the protests in the Middle East very closely every day, and I really appreciate this series of posts that you're doing to mirror the aspirations of so many millions of our brothers and sisters. What a great way to share in their hopes of a better future- through sharing the music of some of their most progressive and daring musicians.<br /><br />I think Black Theama is a particularly poignant choice.maestro898https://www.blogger.com/profile/01502263043108602062noreply@blogger.com
