I många standardanalyser av läget i Egypten tycks man ha en oförmåga att se och acceptera att det INTE primärt handlar om något radikalislamistiskt missnöje med USA/Israel, utan om det egyptiska folkets rätt till frihet, värdighet och ett gott liv, utan polistrakasserier, rättsosäkerhet och extremfattigdom. Det kan då vara läge att påminna om att det var precis det den första liberala revolutionen handlade om också.
