Egypt’s Future? Watch the Military

The Takeaway

Nicholas Kristof, columnist for The New York Times responds to ongoing events in Egypt. He says that we should be watching the military as events continue to unfold in Egypt. The U.S. is likely pressuring Egypt’s Army to stay peaceful, but dictatorships can be equally influential and some of Egypt’s generals may see their future aligned with Mubarak, notes Kristof.
