Egypt's president offers nothing to defuse crisis

Hmm.

It's difficult to see where this holds any promise for stability.

Apparently the irreconcilable differences associated with religion are best kept out of the political process.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss (if not worse).

Tunisia is also bursting at the seams. Libya is an absolute basket case (except for the oil fields which are now in French hands), Syrians are getting killed daily by marauding Al Qaeda gunmen.

I thought that this Arab spring was all about freedom, democracy and human rights.
