theocracy that Morsi and his bunch wanted so badly that they forgot to govern.
If they can keep the god squad to a minority in government, they will likely find a balance eventually.
In the meantime, gas prices are rising right on schedule. The spot crude futures are over $100/bbl, supposedly on fears that Egypt is going to fall apart.

I'll pass on celebrating at this time. I did pass on Morsi's election.
