The much lauded Arab spring has bypassed summer and gone straight to winter. Mohamed Morsi has been busy of late with his center role in the peace treaty/truce between Hamas and Israel but he has found time to make a start on crowning himself Caesar. Get to know this smile. You are going to be seeing a lot of him. Arab democracy = One Man. One Vote. Once. All hail Caesar !!! Mohamed Morsi bars court challenges and orders Hosni Mubarak retrial | World news | The Guardian
Obviously these decisions and new power have to possibility to be greatly abused and misused, but this was done to help protect the goals of the revolution. Morsi did this to make sure the path to democrocy takes place because there are people and groups who are trying to derail this. Of course only time will tell, but let's wait and see what happens, let's wait until the new constitution is written before we pass judgement.
While I can understand where you guys are coming from I have spent quite a bit of time over in that part of the world. I've spoken to many, many Egyptians about what would/should happen to Mubarak since that 1st trial and the vast majority feel that the 1st trial was completely rigged. It would stand to reason that most Egyptians probably fully support this latest thing. Fletcher is right on though about waiting for time to tell. Say what you will about the guy but he has done some positive things during his short 4 month tenure such as broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
