#1 The Egyptians don't have a "democracy" what they have is an Arab JUNTA. If you drive around Cairo, up and down the boulevards you can see all the private Hotels with the swimming pools and private facilities for the military...and you cant get in unless you are with the Colonel or you have permission from Regiment and Division.

And dont question why this is so....its so because these guys have guns and collect the taxes now. And do they still use a fly whisk soaked in Lysol in the Metropol Theatre toilets and then hand you a towel and ask for a tip... like they used to?
