restrictions on the role of the military is still too great for true freedom to emerge in egypt now is the debate this calmly polarizing society that but without the army a power vacuum and poised to step into that vacuum the muslim brotherhood links to al-qaeda the brotherhood is understood to be multiplying and organizing from the mosques according to their spokesperson based spec to win seventy five percent of the electoral seats they contest in september's election son expect something more sinister there might be a deal. between the army and between the muslim brotherhood to share power and basically hijack the whole revolution this is the oldest and the best organized political movement in opposition and of course if the field is more or less been leveled now after mubarak has gone they have more chances than others who are not

organized back at the beginning of the year european leaders appear to adopt a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt but the show is democratic change has to start. it needs to happen now for growth of freedom and democracy in egypt. but americans are now arriving in droves to exert their influence over the democratization process it's very worrying to see so many advisors from washington arrive in cairo and perhaps try and hijack the revolution for washington but we must always remember. that egypt was a strategic lynchpin of washington foreign policy that all important is going to the nile river basin so we'll see the forces aligned against fairly leader of the those emerging egypt washington will therefore be trying to get along . but what if it's the muslim brotherhood the west has had some dealings with the brotherhood very differently to. how much classified by some countries as

a terrorist organization in two thousand and sixty one a democratic election in the palestinian authority in response to the middle east quartet increased sanctions according to the merriam webster dictionary the definition of democracy is government by the people but what will happen in european corridors of power if the people of egypt sees what's perceived abroad to be the wrong governments the world awaits the results of september the like said the rabbit. in libya fierce fighting continues as the un warns the coalition of sending military escorts to protect aid shipments could put humanitarian work in the country at risk comes as the u.k. france and italy are set to dispatch teams to advise rebels on the ground antiwar activist brian becker says the escalation of the coalition could eventually lead to an invasion. that resolution was designed to authorize the beginning of military
5:05 am
operations against libya but the real goal from the beginning has been to topple the regime they never say we're going in to take oil that would not be a very popular cause they have to give the mission some sort of noble cause in this case protecting civilians in other cases protecting democracy or freedom or stopping terrorism i think a lot of people see through this in the american people by the way they see the war in afghanistan ten years in the war in iraq eight years in another war in a muslim country the american people don't want this they are being told that there's no money for nurses and teachers and firefighters because the country is broke but soon it seemingly endless funds for another war in another muslim country can ruin sarkozy and obama said could avi must go and if the bombing doesn't work doesn't bad then mean in order not to feel that there has to be endless escalation an escalation ultimately leads to a military invasion if they can't stop or oust gadhafi i think that's where this is going even though they say it'll never happen. so they have for you this hour we'll
