To their credit, the Egyptian generals moved swiftly to put in place a
pathway to democracy: elections for a new Parliament were set for
September; this Parliament will then oversee the writing of a new
Constitution, and then a new civilian president will be elected.
Sounds great on paper, and it was endorsed by a referendum, but
there’s one big problem: The Tahrir Square revolution was a largely
spontaneous, bottom-up affair. It was not led by any particular party
or leader. Parties are just now being formed. If elections for the
Parliament are held in September, the only group in Egypt with a real

If elections happen in September and the Muslim Brotherhood wins a
plurality it could have an inordinate impact on writing Egypt’s first
truly free Constitution and could inject restrictions on women,
alcohol, dress, and the relations between mosque and state. “You will
