If you understand Arabic, listen to this song. It is part of the Egyptian Tomorrow Party's election campaign. The state television will not broadcast the pro-democracy song because "a section the music is taken from another song." Right, whatever. Because of this song, all campaign coverage of Ayman Nour has ceased. So, only in circumventing democracy will the regime "protect property rights." Despite this, the song is being distributed like crazy through e-mail all over Egypt. Democracy at its finest.
The election is September 7. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Muburak will win, especially when opposition parties are supressed. However, there is a firm democratic movement that has taken root, and barring any disasterous military suppression, it is there to stay.
