I just find it interesting how those living outside Egypt summarily writes of Mursi as an Islamist extremist. It shows there lack of real understanding. Whatever he is, he is not a dictator (yet). Lets see what he does.

agree with the last sentiment, hopefully in the short term things may calm down although im far from sure they will

I've not met a politician yet that doesn't say one thing and does the opposite. It's as though they're all sculptured just to lie.

Egyptians change when they get a bit of power, everyone wants to be a Pharaoh.

We watched today's portrayal of The Family and it did show how Mubarak rose to power.

What I didn't agree was him saying he wanted to bow out when he saw the Tunisia Arab uprising. He knew that his dynasty would fall and both his son's legacies would crumble once he vacated his position.

So he hung in there, to his own greedy downfall.

How ironic that his rise to fame, power and glory followed the same demise and fall from grace as his predecessors. What a shame his Generals cannot see it happening to them too.

Having watched both parts of the film I have to ask

Does anyone else think that Suzanne and Gamal are being blamed for everything?

that's the dramatic twist in the documentary, a bit like Dallas

but she's the only one who so far has got away with it at least for now, I remember reading some horror story about the Alex Library accounts. Whatever happened to that case?
