What Egypt needs...

Two articles make the same point, one more colourfully than the other.  Clean Capitalism, not democracy.
Something like Hong Kong, then: not fully democratic, but free and capitalist.  And the rule of law....
I'd reckon that that's what most Egyptians would want now, a return to some form of normality, of tourists, the opportunity to set up businesses and run them without being squeezed by corrupt officials.
Till then, Egypt continues to plunge into a state of Middle East.
