Egypt

Great, prescient note from Karl regarding the goings on in Egypt:

Historical note. There has been only one popular revolution in the history of the world which upon its success was not immediately taken over by either a dictator of a radical mob or both. Read French, Russian, Cuban, Iranian and a host of others. The process summarized nicely in Orwell’s Animal Farm. The exception, of course, is the American Revolution, the one exception. So now let’s see what becomes of Egypt. They seem like such nice people. I wish them well and suggest they look at the one revolution that has long remained in the hands of the people. It is admittedly a hard act to follow, the script written by a remarkable assembly of genius. It is a script for chaos, of course, and that made it work. Whoops, maybe I missed Poland. But that is a work in progress.
