Egypt launches 'Operation Desert Storm' against Muslim Brotherhood, Islamists
I hate being wrong, but I'm gonna stick my neck out and say the era that began in 1952 with the coup that ushered Gamal Abdel Nasser to power in Egypt is almost over. Funny how the Egyptian army was front and centre in both "revolutions". Sixty years is just about the right amount of time needed to recognize that the revolution (Arab Nationalism, in this case) has failed. And boy, did this one fail.
