I don’t see how Egyptians can find a peaceful solution to their problems, as long as the Muslim Brotherhood is more interested in scoring points by notching up martyrs, rather than accepting to sit down to discuss a compromise and power sharing with the other political parties. On the other hand, the hamfisted action of the army hasn’t made the situation any easier, by giving the Islamists exactly what they were looking for: martyrs and mayhem, which cover up nicely all their past mismanagement and misbehaviour while they were in power, until a few days ago.
