| So how are things now in Egypt? Looks to be a mixed bag. |

A sweeping ban on all protests and strikes. Not good at all. Elections with high participation and much needed reforms passing. Good. Growing influence of fundamentalists. Not so good.
The outcome of Egypt's revolution is still pretty much up in the air.
