I don't know if anybody has been following the news in Egypt recently. I know we had a 'Syria' thread, but couldn't really find anything about Egypt.
Egypt opposition leaders face 'incitement' probe
'...and so it begins'
I suppose few people are truly surprised. The old dictator is gone and a new dictator starts consolidating power by persecuting the opposition leaders and removing them.
Question is, are islamist dictators an improvement over secular dictators? I would put my bets on 'Not'.
Will Egypt become the next Iran? I suppose the only thing preventing them from joining forces is the insurmountable barrier of their differences (Shiite/Sunni).
