Democratic Outcome in Egypt Is Far from Inevitable
(RealClearPolitics) Charles Krauthammer - It's important that there be a transition that is not out of control. What we hope to see happen, or help to happen, is that the military - which is a respected institution - stays in control. It doesn't matter if it's Mubarak - likely not him - or Suleiman or another that the army will trust, but the army becomes the guardian of the state. It arranges for six or eight months' preparation for an open, fair election which will allow the democrats in Egypt - who are now unorganized, disorganized and disunited - to be able to put up opposition against the Muslim Brotherhood, who are ruthless, organized and ready.
