Revolution Fatigue

People are beginning to lose the sense of euphoria they had on February 13th. The harsh reality is setting in. Democratizing Egypt is going to take a long time.

Good article by Rahman Abdel Hussein on this. He argues that the current military rule in Egypt is authoritarian and unaccountable. I tend to agree. We are a long way from democracy.
