CHOSE THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS

By your conclusion, it appears that if one must chose between two evils, may as well go for the least harmful one and Sissi is that scenario.

I understand his position.

He needs a free hand to solve Egypt problems as there are so many. And the MB is not there to help him so he needs them out. He tells them: Either you are with me or against me, and if you are against me, I will reduce you to silence, to death if need be.

Call it another dictature if you wish, but this is the way things are in the Arab world. Look around and try to find a democratic system. It does not exist for no one is ready for it, so many things have to change. It is in the attitude and the culture.

So what have the people gained in removing Mubarack?

Not much

Look at Tunisia, Lybia and Irak, are the people any better off? I doubt it
