Venezuelan Opposition Prepares for Non-Recognition of Chavez Victory

5. I have no idea what you are going on about or why.

MB has been a political player in Egypt for 100 years and more, nobody else has the political credibility to even attempt to rule democratically, as opposed to ruling by force, hence they offer the only possibility of genuine orderly civilian rule.

They started out as a nationalist/anti-colonial political movement, and that is what they are now. Morsi seems inclined to get right on with it too, he's been moving fast, but conciliatory to the old guard. What is happening now in Egypt is the contnuation of the wane of Western "influence", i.e. the restoration of local rule after a period of outside conquest/occupation/colonization.

The situation in Venezuela is quite different in some respects, similar in others, and not at all in the same stage of historical and cultural development.
