Egypt: Constitution Changes Pass in Referendum
By not in system - AOL NewsCAIRO -- Egyptian voters overwhelmingly approved changes in the constitution, opening the way for parliamentary and presidential elections within months, according to final results from a landmark referendum announced today. Opponents fear the swift timetable could boost the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood and members of the former ruling party. The Brotherhood had campaigned heavily for a "yes" vote in the referendum. Critics say that since it and the former ruling party are the best organized political forces in the country, they stand to gain the most in an early election -- which will ...

Opinion: Egypt's Jump-Ball Revolution
By Ken Allard - AOL NewsIf you weren't thrilled by the images of last week's revolution in Egypt, then you might want to check for a pulse. For a while, it looked as if "Les Miserables" had been transported to Cairo and simulcast on CNN, Twitter and Facebook. Even more remarkable: these events occurred in the Middle East, where tyranny, poverty and shattered hopes seem as permanent as the pyramids. But with Hosni Mubarak and the crowds gone, what happens when the cameras turn their attention elsewhere? Should we be hopeful about the future of Egyptian democracy, skeptical or even fearful? Let's begin with basics. ...
