Their democracy is the democracy of Stalin where only one party rules and decides on the characteristics of their democracy which includes eliminating all dissidents and eradicating that which the Egyptian youth might have been driving to revolutionize. In its stead is a Stalin like regime. Hitler did the same. He used the Weimar republics democracy to eradicate it. Welcome all the the Arab Spring

is the next president, he will be able to overcome these obstacles because there is no strong justification for that decision God bless this man , he is the man of the hour shalom

Fad, did you read the article? This useless traitor is toast, history, menayel fisiteen neela...& good riddance to him and the military council, and the corrupt business elite, who in 35 years reduced Egypt to a banana republic.

“...& good riddance to him and the military council, and the corrupt business elite, who in 35 years reduced Egypt to a banana republic.” I’m curious as to the time or era when Egypt WAS NOT a banana republic. I have my doubts that coming Islamist government will improve things very much. The Muslim Brotherhood is stacking the deck in Egypt and the hammer is about to fall. Suleiman (et al)!!! You better lay low my brothers!

Why not let suleiman run, democracy, right? Fad, you're pretty sharp, so you know how it winds up. Any leader of egypt is gonna to fatten his swiss bank account. nour none state got it right, but egypt is not just a banana republic. egypt will soon be a banana republic with sharia law

let this country move by its own desire and stop giving them businesses or aid, let iran support them if it can afford, time to let this terrorists admin survive if they can, ha?

and Israel gained Gaza.

They were asked to disqualify Suleiman and did, but also diqualified Al-Shater (M Brotherhood). A politic, balanced decision disqualifying one person from each end of the political spectrum.

Suleiman wanted to quit, but Obama forced him to announce his candidacy as one of his desperate moves to make up for destroying American interests because of Obama's unique combination of arrogance, stupidty and racism. Suleiman knows that the only way to control Egypt will be to Bahrain-style and Assad-style massacres. Not only does he not want to massacre his own people, he saw how Obama threw Mubarak under a bus after years of service, and how Obama broke solemn promises to Israel. I would not be surprised if Suleiman is responsible for his own disqualification.

Does anyone think any of the losing parties will settle for being a loser? This is barbaric Islam where death is victory. Once the dust settles, the suicide bombers will continue their political cannibalism and Egypt will join Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan enjoying the fruits of sharia

The military has absolutely no intention of relinquishing control.
