Egypt Fights For Freedom - Part 2

While in Tunisia, there was no organized opposition which was ready to step in, in Egypt there is a serious opposition group, which most times is more of a figurehead. For the least 30 years, Mubarak has "ruled" Egypt. The whole concept of opposition to the regime was window dressing, not a real true force to be reckoned with. Like most minor political parties, like the Green Party here in the US, it had no real chance of victory, since real democratic elections where anyone but Mubarak could not be the victor, could ever occur. However, it is ready to step in, IF there would be a coup. Unfortunately, a regime run by the Muslim Brotherhood, the official opposition, my be even more tyrannical than the current regime. America played it part as well. I'll go into that in Part 3
