-
“[There is] a link between people's faith in their democratic process and their faith that oppressed people can change their situation through peaceful means alone.”
-
“If Egypt is to succeed at building a society based on the rule of law, it could be a model. If, however, the core issues that propelled the revolution aren't addressed, consequences could be catastrophic.”
