Democracy or conspiracy?

So Egypt is now going to have an Election like all civiliezed and some of the uncivilized countries of the world.
A step forward? yep it is.
But important questions do arrise:

1) how will the constitution be ammended? the wording of the amendment is as important as the decision its self.
2) why did this decision come in February after voting card are no longer being issued? this knowing that supporters are usually the ones who do vote!
3)why did this decision come so close to the elections? this leaves little time for candidates to announce themselves, prepare themselves and for parties to develop their leadership. it also leaves little time for us to make sure the wording of the amendment is correct. We may want to add more to it, like women being allowed to be president, or that the president can only be president for two terms, or to cut the term to 5 or 4 years instead of 6.

All too suspicious.

Is this a way to get Mubarak Re-elected and leaving America with no excuse to hassle Egypt about it?
Is it a way to get Jimmy ( Gamal Mubarak - Hosni Mubarak's son) to be president without upsetting the masses and America?
Or has Mubarak decided to call it quits and leave with the remainig dignity he has left?

Despite of all those concerns this is still a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.
Maybe in 20 Years they will let women run?
Maybe in 30 years we'd have the first female candidate.

What i do know though is that now and more than ever, i do want to eventually stay in Egypt and fight for what i believe in.
Kenny thinks me and him had a role in this decision, we opposed, we talked to people, we convinced people. We may have not worn t-shirts saying "Kefaya" ( Enough is Enough) like others have done, but he thinks we had a share.
