“We don’t want to deal with Egyptian society with police tools.” — Omar Suleiman

So now the authoritarian rulers are warning, threatening, the Egyptian populace of an impending police crackdown? They are the definition of a dictatorship at this point. And regardless of the “known unknowns” of Egypt’s future the Mubarak regime will go down.

It’s too bad because I had a tiny inkling of hope with Omar Suleiman. Instead he’s already proven that he is no different than Mubarak.
