Egypt: the one true hope in the Middle East.

As I've said before, I believe Egypt is the one country in the Middle East which has a solid chance at really moving forward. They are a long way toward it already. They have a semi-democratic state; they have a sense of being "Egyptian" rather than Sunni, Shia, Christian, Arab, or from some particular clan (and have a sense of pride about it). And now further evidence. Do you think anyone would even think to raise an anti-government sentiment in Syria, Saudia, Lybia, etc.? Much less an attack on the President?
