revolt and fear it's a revolution believe it let's roll you know let's let's be cautious here i think kofi kidd hit the nail on the head there's a lot of forces against this there's this process going on now because the areas where we don't know how to. turn out well and there were allowed them to do this before expression leave the country that you and i both come from ok so tofik let's go to this i mean when the military has said that it's going to on our international obligations ok which is a code word for everybody that's the peace treaty ok with israel israel and probably for the moment it's probably not a bad idea but because egypt has to look internally first but the muslim brotherhood has made it very clear that they want the entire population to vote on this they want the public opinion on this and ok john i'll back you up one hundred percent it will be a revolution if the people of egypt are listened to and they have an influence in their foreign policy what's the what's the balancing act they have to do right now because egypt needs to get its own internal house in order before
