Democracy in Egypt?

              A very interesting article found in todays The Washington Post, shows how the U.S. government is actively blue-printing how to establish a democratic control in Egypt.
             As it’s no new news, the Egyptians are still in their attempt of revolting against it dictating government. In Obama’s statement he says that “Too many Egyptians remain unconvinced that the government is serious about a genuine transition to democracy, and it is the responsibility of the government to speak clearly to the Egyptian people and the world. The Egyptian government must put forward a credible, concrete and unequivocal path toward genuine democracy, and they have not yet seized that opportunity” This passage of Obama’s statement notes not only how urgent the matter is to the Egyptians, but also as for Americans. It is of high importance that the U.S. government establishes a democratic government in the North African – Middle Eastern part of the world because many other nations will be influenced and perhaps can follow in the example of Egypt.
             I believe this article is important because it is perhaps foreshadowing what is to come in a new Egypt. All if, of course, if Mubarak doesn't not resign, then hopefully the need for violence is not needed.
