The Story of the Egyptian Revolution<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
(American Thinker) One week ago, Egypt was a stable authoritarian regime,<br />
prospects of change were minimal and every expert in Washington would have<br />
betted on the endurance of its regime. Today, Egypt is in a state of chaos.<br />
The regime, even after using its mightiest sword is not able to control the<br />
country and the streets of Egypt are in a state of utter lawlessness. As<br />
the world stands in awe, confusion, and worry at the unfolding events,<br />
perhaps it is important to write the evolving story that is happening in<br />
Egypt before any reflections can be made on them.<br />
Contrary to pundits, it turns out that the Egyptian regime was neither<br />
stable nor secure. The lack of its stability is not a reflection of its<br />
weakness or lack of a resolve to oppress. It is a reflection of its<br />
inherent contradiction to the natural desire of men to enjoy their basic<br />
freedoms. Egyptians might not know what democracy actually means, but that<br />
does not make the concept any less desirable. Perhaps it is precisely its<br />
vagueness and abstraction that makes the concept all the more desirable.<br />

Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
(StratFor) The following is a report from a STRATFOR source in Hamas.<br />
Hamas, which formed in Gaza as an outgrowth of the Egyptian Muslim<br />
Brotherhood (MB), has an interest in exaggerating its role and coordination<br />
with the MB in this crisis. The following information has not been<br />
confirmed. Nonetheless, there is a great deal of concern building in Israel<br />
and the United States in particular over the role of the MB in the<br />
demonstrations and whether a political opening will be made for the<br />
Islamist organization in Egypt.<br />
The Egyptian police are no longer patrolling the Rafah border crossing into<br />
Gaza. Hamas armed men are entering into Egypt and are closely collaborating<br />
with the MB. The MB has fully engaged itself in the demonstrations, and<br />
they are unsatisfied with the dismissal of the Cabinet. They are insisting<br />
on a new Cabinet that does not include members of the ruling National<br />
Democratic Party.<br />
Security forces in plainclothes are engaged in destroying public property<br />
in order to give the impression that many protesters represent a public<br />
menace. The MB is meanwhile forming people’s committees to protect public<br />
property and also to coordinate demonstrators’ activities, including<br />
supplying them with food, beverages and first aid.<br />
