Because I question the integrity of how the members got elected (bread, gas tanks, oil and sugar don't count for voter support) So, does your suggestion include dissolving this parliament and a new one takes over? <br /><br />Also, my other concern is that المركب اللي ليها ريسين تغرق and let us be clear that theoretically roles and responsbilties can be defined, but you will never be able to create a fair balance of power between those two! MB and the Generals/Suliman camp.<br /><br />Regarding external relations, I agree that the MB will cause a major screw up. Not sure where do we go from here, really. <br /><br />NeneoneoNeneoneohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150799299535659260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1200098464556578215.post-50023472660928753722012-04-12T09:48:46.148-07:002012-04-12T09:48:46.148-07:00Crisp analysis buddy..and right on the money.

Fully agree with it..except that I probably have less faith than you in 2 key areas that are the cornerstones of your proposal (which in all fairness is a clever and highly attractive one..in theory): 1- I have deep mistrust of ANY kind of Islamic regime. Doesn't require a historian to point our their winning strategy being 'etmasken ila an tatamakkan' (the moderation messages). The ideology is deep-rooted in Egypt..and we're becoming 'more Catholic than the Pope!' if you know what I mean. 2- Political arrangements aside..end of the day we're a country of Pharoahs. In our blood my friend. So whatever constitution or division of power you hammer out..for the first critical period the President - whoever it may be - will effectively wield the maximum swaying power in all respects. Now think Islamic President..and combine the above 2 points and you'll get a basic feel of my concerns on that front.

In case ( and most likely is the case) the president and parliament are MBs, we can thus and for simplification purposes say we split the country between the MBs and Army. Although this is theoratically doabel, practically i think its extremely difficult! The moost obvious reason for example would be, if SCAf, in charge of forgien relations and security strike a deal with israel or continue friendly relationships, the president, parliament or cabinet may object! and rightfully so! and would an agreement with israel include trade? tourism?? and arent those interior affairs? but if the SCAF has no power to inforce any of its forign affairs direction or policies internally, then whats the purpose? this is just a small example of trouble. National bodies dont work independently! they work interdependantly! and the decision of one entity will have to be executed by another! how will we acheive that if they have two different bosses! each with a completely different mind set, agenda and prespective!..Nihal Hammadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728389952352529514noreply@blogger.com
