Moving to expand Egypt’s power grid, that country’s Muslim Brotherhood president is reported to be moving to establish an Egyptian nuclear weapons program. The Muslim Brotherhood has long advocated the development of such a program, and Morsi’s announcement follows on the heels of his trip to Tehran. Some believe that Morsi may take the Iranians up on an offer to develop a nuclear deterrent.
Well, two days before Egypt’s historic presidential runoff between the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi and Mubarak’s ex-Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq it looks like Egypt’s revolution is back to the square. No, not mass protests in Tahrir square, although that looks like a very real possibility sooner or later. That’s because Egypt’s revolution is back to square one. It’s been quite a week in Egypt.
Mohammed Morsi vowed to break with the ‘old ways’ if elected. Unfortunately, it looks like that’s because an embrace of the ‘really old ways’ is on the agenda.
