The New Egypt?

A short posting on Egypt post Hosni Mubarak .... The people of Egypt has spoken. Hosni Mubarak was stripped of his power by the common people of Egypt and had elected a President, Mohamed Morsi whose political lineage is towards the Muslim Brotherhood. During the run up to the presidential election, the name El Baradei surfaced as one of the potential candidate for the president, Ek Baradei did not gain popular support from the masses though he was "silently" backed by the western power due to his liberal and pro western attitude. Now in the midst of the so called constitutional crisis in Egypt due to the proposed new Constitution of Egypt by Morsi, El Baradei's name again re surfaced as the main opponent to the new Constitution. Apart from El Baradei, the former foreign minister of Egypt, Ammer Mousa also came into the picture. El Baradei and Ammer Mousa both are disconnected from the masses of Egyptians. While Ammer Mousa was linked and considered part of Hosni Mubarak's regime, El Baradei who was formerly the person who headed to International Nuclear Agency had lived in overseas (out of Egypt) for years thus the disconnection. El Baradei was instrumental in the western powers irrational pressure on Iran's alleged uranium enrichment program. With these background, the most logical choice for Egyptians are to reject these two personalities who tried to hijack the peoples' revolution at the Tahrir Square. Rejecting them mean rejecting the western powers who are lurking dangerously behind them .....
