Egypt is not Libya…

Egypt is not Libya, nor Yemen.  Egypt is a cosmopolitan, open society. Young people are educated and women are more free than in most Arab countries.  While many are poor, Egyptians have a strong sense of community and experience of turning to one another. So we cannot expect the same results in Libya that took place in Egypt or Tunisia, where the militarys would not fire on their own people.

Yet, we still wait to hear the democratic outcomes in any of these countries, including Egypt.
