moominmuppetZunguzungu: Day of Departure? -- excellent and detailed.
Worth particularly noting: The constitution dictates, by the way, that the speaker of parliament would take over if the President steps down, so crowning a “transitional government” made up of Suleiman would be — and this is worth repeating — a deal struck between President Obama (who has no mandate) and the dictator that everyone regards as having no legitimacy. This would be the United States crowning a man as president of Egypt who lacks even the vaguest trappings of democratic legitimacy, and a man who is mainly known for personally overseeing torture and for partnering with the USA in doing so.

Date: 2011-02-05 06:14 pm (UTC)Right now, in America, the trouble is trying to satisfy national greed AND national idealism. Go for what is right, people. We all die in the end and dying having done something right is better in my book.
