"SCAF has ... an 80 percent chance of holding power" - I disagree and would give them 20%.Reader comment on item: Egypt's Sixty Years of Misery Submitted by Rob (United States), Jul 24, 2012 at 09:43 Egypt's military won't be any more successful containing its islamists than turkey's is -- especially, as we now know from hillary's recent meeting, hillary and obama have thrown in with the islamists against the military. And re "Egypt and South Korea...were on a socio-economic par in 1952; now, Egypt has fallen far behind." We can be very grateful for that - that the peaceful democratic Koreans are the powerhouse, and the aggressive, primitive-thinking West-hating Egyptians are weak.
