>> i think ivan had a wonderful way of putting it, when he said old habits die hard. you have this military regime, which has been in power since 1952, for six decades egypt was ruled in a very authoritarian way. it had a rich democratic heritage, but that was before 1952. i think egyptians have the best chance in the arab world as a whole for making that transition to a democratic future. it's a culture with a legal frame work, and i think we saw the best of egypt in tahrir. we will see some deviation from that. men are not angels. but on balance i still vote for the egyptian revolution that it will bring egyptians a measure of relief and a measure of progress. >> and that brings us straight to tunisia. ivan, despite the situation in egypt, you seem to draw a different sort of comparison in tunisia, the other post
