In more than 3000 year old history of Egypt, first time the nation is going to embrace ' Democracy'. But it does not mean the modern Egypt never saw great period of prosperity. Gamal Abdel Nasser commanded the nation in the height of its prosperity (1952-70), but subsequent governments were merely semi puppets of the West. The Arab spring again opened the door towards peoples power and and hoped it on Muslim Brotherhood.
But it seems hopes are shattering. United States is trying all possible tactics to ensure that Muslim Brotherhood don't come to power and the strings are beings controlled not at Pentagon but at Tel Aviv (by Israel). After Gamal Abdel Nasser's period, all leaders including Honsi Mubarak were enjoying US and Israeli support in lieu of support to Israel's Palestine expansions (which they got, though half-heartedly) and US investments.
On one hand US is campaigning for democracy in Egypt and showing that it is keeping pressure on Military Council to give power top people, on the other hand the recent delay in election results clearly shows that US is trying all possible measures to ensure Muslim brotherhood don't come to power. If Muslim brotherhood comes to power (which is widely anticipated) US will loose a major puppet in Arab League. And if that happens, the US plans on Syria and Iran will be in turmoil.
Today is the D-day, military council has said it will today declare the result of recent elections. Will the people's power win? or vested interest?
