They won't be happy with a democratically elected government because they cling to old notions and traditions that divide the electorate. Until they stop seeing their neighbors as enemies just because they might be Copic, Suni, Shia, or a women's rights worker or whatever, they will never accept an elected government because the minority groups will not trust the majority to not use the government powers against them.

No doubt of that. Americans are so complacent they will never realize that our government which is supposed to protect and serve us is bad until it starts killing innocent Americans. We already have a thought police in this country so guess what's next.

Thought I'd post a couple interesting articles on Egypt (some likely repeating things said in here). Including one from CSM, which I'd never thought I'd find an article there that was actually half decent (though it is a bit light).
Reports of 'Islamism's' demise are greatly exaggerated - CSMonitor.com
When the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi was elected president in June 2012, many wondered if it heralded a transformational shift for Egypt, and perhaps for the whole region. After all, Egypt is the Arab world’s most populous country and is home to the Muslim Brotherhood, the granddaddy of the modern Islamist movements that emerged in the early 20th century.
The Brothers' victory, amid a time when old secular dictatorships seemed consigned to extinction, could prove that 'Islam is the solution' (the Brotherhood's slogan) after all, and many articles and commentators predicted their brand of political Islam would come to the fore across the Arab Middle East.

But, rather than looking for someone to blame, Egyptians should realise that everyone lost the moment they stopped co-operating.
Islamist and secular forces are trying to exclude each other at every turn.

Who cares nothing anyone says or does about a stupid birth certificate is going to change a damn thing. I understand why it's important but in the long run it doesn't matter because we are still stuck with him and this shitty government.

Re: Egyptian Revolution
Wouldn't have been if people thought finding the truth was more important then telling someone the need a tin foil hat. Plus at the end of the day it would invalidate every law he signed while hes on his way to jail. Well would be if holder wasn't the one making that decision.
