How Democracy Can Work in the Middle East

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2045888,00.html?cnn=yes

U.S. Diplomat, Frank Wisner met with Hosni Mubarak on Tuesday, Feb. 1 to dicuss about middle east peace. Then the American might gently raise the issue of political reform. Obama pressed the Egyptian leader to refrain from any violent response to the hundreds of thousands in the streets. Whatever happens in the next few days will not change the central narrative of Egypt's revolution. Historians will note that Jan. 25 marked the start of the end of Mubarak's 30-year reign. And now we'll test the theory that politicians and scholars have long debated. Will a more democratic Egypt become a radical Islamic state? Can democracy work in the Arab world?
I believe anything is possible but it will take time for the government to change in Egypt. It will not happen instantly. I don't see how democracy won't work in Egypt. It gives more freedom to the people.
