This is what Egyptians told us when we visited Cairo at the end of March 2013.
Many disillusioned Egyptians say things are worse than ever. Thugs often run the streets, crime rates have skyrocketed, and police feel they're outgunned, faced with the flood of weapons filling Cairo's streets.
Making matters worse, everything from utilities to gasoline is both more expensive and more difficult to acquire than it was before the Muslim Brotherhood.
Gee, why not tell the whole story and regale us with tales of how Iraq has become the land of milk and honey, how peace reigns supreme and how huge amounts of American blood and $$$ have created Eden 2.0 in mesopotamia?

The people won the revolution and the religious thugs stole the government. So what else is new or unexpected. That is what happens when you mix religion, force and government.
The trouble is, the people who fought the revolution--young and urban, primarily--are outnumbered by all the rural hayseeds who took no part. The same dynamic holds true in Iran still today, although demographics are tilting towards young/urban, which the Ayatollahs are wringing their hands over.
What's this...an intelligent post that actually lays out the problem with democracy in Egypt...
