  1. The two words that are not in a revolution are --negotiate- and or compromise--- seems we are hearing this a lot from the West.

  2. Yes, this is completely nonsensical. Egyptian protesters want a new constitution. They could care less about following the old one.

    At some point America's founding fathers also lost faith in negotiating with England.

    Then it becomes revolution or bust.
