No election is perfect. No political system is perfect. Not even a democracy.

I came from Taiwan. It took Taiwan 12 years to transit to a fair election, fair but not without vote buying and corruption charges. Clever politicians turn out to be shrewd voter manipulators. Many elected officials are so brilliant at enriching themselves that voters are left dazzled and unable to decide.

In hindsight, the overthrown Taiwanese authoritative leaders did build an efficient bureaucracy good at long-term planning that benefited the island. The new elected politicians have been pushing for short-term results that help win re-election.

Yes there are problems and disappointments that don't seem to go away in a reasonable future, but nobody wants to go back to the old system under which powers were concentrated upon a few people.

I mean to say that Egyptians must wait. The first election will not and cannot yield a wonderful result that everyone had been fighting for.

Yes no elections are perfect. no one do the election with justice. There is a chance of 5% fraud in all elections. :(
If there remains any pretense that justice and rule of law exist in Moscow today, that notion should now be counted as pure fantasy. The case of Sergei Magnitsky -- a senior partner at my law firm who was imprisoned, tortured, and murdered after his efforts to shed light on a massive governmental fraud by Interior Ministry officials stealing subsidiaries of my client's company, the Hermitage Fund, and the $230 million of taxes they had paid -- has illuminated the cruelty and criminality of Russian legal enforcement. And new evidence..

The very bureaucrats -- government tax officials on modest salaries in Moscow Tax Office 28 -- exposed by Sergei three years ago of perpetrating the massive fraud stashed millions of dollars in overseas bank accounts, created offshore companies, and purchased luxury villas in Dubai, Montenegro, and Moscow. Worse still, the Kremlin and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, in particular, have refused -- out of embarrassment, inability, culpability, or incompetence -- to review and prosecute what is now overwhelming evidence of this clear crime.

When I opened my law firm, Firestone Duncan, in Moscow in 1993, I was aware of the dangers of doing business in Russia. The stories about "mafia" groups of tracksuited thugs extorting businesses were well known to me. What I never expected was that the Russian mafia would merge with the government; its members are now the same officials who are supposed to be protecting the public.

The story begins in July 2007, when Russian Interior Ministry officers Artem Kuznetsov and Pavel Karpov raided my law offices in Moscow and seized without a warrant two vanloads of documents and corporate seals (imprints that go along with the signature on any signed document in Russia) from companies belonging to my firm's clients, including the Hermitage Fund, which had once been Russia's largest foreign investor. At the time, one of my junior lawyers protested that their search was illegal. He was taken into a conference room by the officers and beaten so severely that he was hospitalized for three weeks.
A few months later, we learned that the materials seized by the police had been handed over to a criminal group that used them to fraudulently re-register the companies under the name of a frontman, the convicted murderer, Viktor Markelov. Markelov had been recently released from pretrial detention on an unrelated kidnapping and extortion charge involving the same officers, Kuznetsov and Karpov. The seized documents were also used to create $1 billion of fake backdated contracts. Markelov and two other ex-convicts were made directors of the re-registered companies and, through their lawyers, pleaded guilty in several regional courts to $1 billion in these fake liabilities. We learned this from a bailiff in the St. Petersburg court who called our office looking for hundreds of millions of dollars of assets to satisfy those claims.

At this point, Sergei got involved. He started investigating the scheme and, after a few weeks, pieced the story together through court records, registration files, and bank statements. He prepared a number of very detailed criminal complaints against the police officers and perpetrators involved in the massive fraud on electronic agenda. These complaints were filed with the most senior Russian law enforcement authorities on Dec. 3, 2007. The police did nothing

This is what the election should have..!!

Thanks

I mean to say that Egyptians must wait. The first orjin krem election will not and cannot yield a wonderful rx1 result that everyone had been fighting for.

Mohamed,

Your story begs me to cry again. In the spring, Egyptians thought it was freedom they were fighting for, but as always, it was just a sick joke.

In come the fortune 500, the world bank, and the never-ending corrupt and vile operators who run it, and yes, they install the sloth you are now choosing at election time.

Is it jobs that people really want? I mean, at the cost of all freedom, both time-wise and thought-wise? Do you want to be spending your days trying to feed your family by working harder and for less pay than ever? Is the American way really as good as you hoped?

The sad thing is it's not even American...they are just the puppet army everyone sees.

Why don't you do what needs to be done...and have everyone say NO! NO to corrupt losers getting on the ballot, no to zombie police who can't do what's good for society. Just say no, no to the whole shooting match. No to multinational slave jobs, no to handouts that rob you of everything you have...no no no.

That´s a good point about Sergei

The uncomfortable truth for modern liberalism, political correctness, and relativism: some cultures simply are not compatible with either democracy or modernity. "The True Believers" by V.S. Naipaul is an absolutely correct assessment, ignored by the New York Review of Books et al.

The one-time leftwing liberal associate of Bill Maher, Evan Sayet, said a few years ago after rethinking his political allegiances, that the modern liberal left wing world view, if it applied to sports, would consist of analysing how every losing team or competitor was cheated and exploited and unfairly disadvantaged.

In the last couple of days, the military has handled the protesters a lot more roughly than at every other time since Mubarak stepped down. The crackdown may reflect the military's fury within the activists' distribution of videos showing soldiers bludgeoning ladies and other protesters. The weak showing from the pro-democracy movement within the parliamentary elections that began workout routines that might have also emboldened the military.
