The international community needs to keep a low profile in its response to the revolutionary problems in Egypt. Above all the West must avoid strident calls for an immediate return to democracy, as this will only lead to further failure.
At present Egypt does not have in place the balanced political structures to enable democracy to work. This is why it has failed and why it will fail again unless time is taken to set down a proper foundation upon which democracy can be built. At present there is nothing of substance. Even the Presidency itself was open to challenge.
First there must be an agreed Constitution which is put to the people in a referendum and if accepted, it must then be adopted and a Constitutional Court established to enforce it. Next there must be elections for both houses of parliament and for the presidency. To enable those to take place and for the results to be accepted by losers as well as victors, disciplined political parties must be organised able, if necessary, to form coalitions to govern in the national interest. Finally all sections of the population, including activists and even militants, have to get themselves a mindset which makes them governable without the use of the army and security forces.
At the moment none of this is there. Rushing forward to some new vote to satisfy world opinion, will not be in the interests of Egyptians whichever side they are on.
