Unfortunately, I don't believe my vision of what constitutes freedom is the same as the typical Egyptian's. Although 59% say democracy is preferable to any other form of government, a democracy could be a very scary thing in a country where:
95%: Say it's good that Islam plays a large role in politics
20%: Think suicide bombings are sometimes or often justified
70%: Are concerned or very concerned about Islamist extremism in the world
only 61%: Are concerned or very concerned about Islamist extremism in the Egypt
54%: Believe men and women should be segregated in the workplace
82%: Believe adulterers should be stoned
84%: Believe apostates from Islam should face the death penalty
77%: Believe thieves should be flogged or have their hands cut off

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money"
Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
