Rice Says Egyptian Election Step is Not Enough
(Reuters) U.S. Secretary of State Rice said Thursday that Egypt's plan for multiparty presidential elections was not enough and that "more needs to be done" to advance democracy. "This is an important first step that they are taking," Rice said. "Is it enough? I think, on an absolute scale, no. More needs to be done." Some diplomats and analysts believe the U.S. approach to political change in Egypt has shifted in favor of those who advocate caution to keep Islamists out of power until they clarify or modify their policies.
