Where it could go… Egypt has taken huge steps forward

but with the military taking over they have taken a step back. If they get a constitution together and get the power out of the military's hands then they should be on the right track.

What could go wrong… If the steps are not taken

(constitution complete, and the power out of the military’s hand) then there is potential for another revolution .
