Egypt's democracy

As my last post suggests, democracy can flourish when the winners take into account the interests of the losers when in government. If the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt can achieve this, democracy has a chance in that country. The counterpoint seems to be occurring in Mali, where a deomacratically elected government with much promise, failed to recognise minority Muslim interests and is paying the rpice in terms of internal conflict.
