a quick reflection on different perspectives to what's going on in Egypt

What is taking place in Egypt;
1. From the Muslim Brotherhood side Is an existence struggle through fighting for power that they were finally able to grab and lost it disgracefully because of their bad performance and the refusal of the Egyptian lay person to erase the Egyptian identity.
They're simply applying the Samson option!

2. From the security perspective; internal security and national security in Egypt and Sinai is at risk, international security is at risk because of terrorism in Sinai (be it the Suez canal or the Israel/Palestine borders... More time for MB in power was going to lead to an alien Egypt! Moreover, it was about time to regain some respect to the Security forces that has been lost in January 2011.
3. From the majority of Egyptians perspective: we need security, food, health and our basic needs to be met... Still waiting for justice and social justice.
4. From the idealist revolutionaries' perspective; we lost some rounds between the MB ideology and individualism in power to the Security forces gaining back a strong hold on power without reforms... Waiting for more stamina to continue the struggle against corruption, reaching freedom and achieving social justice.
4. From imperialists perspective, we got rid of a nationalistic leader in early 70s and managed to keep Egypt under control since 1977... How dare those idiotic poor illiterate Egyptians dare to mess up our plans and have a say on the world map based on the New Sykes- Picot!

The struggle is far from being over... Terrorism will loom for a while like the 90s but I still believe in the POWER OF THE PEOPLE.... And the PEOPLE SHALL PREVAIL!
