Kifaya: Aeh Ely Be7sal?!
The website of Kifaya now has a "new foundational" manifesto!! The manifesto on its site is dated August 21st 2006! And is emphasizing opposing the US and Israel as its primary goal! Without debating the validity of this goal, what does that has to do with your primary reason, Kifaya?! Did Mubarak resign from office, and I didn't know? Did we have democratic elections? Was the press freed?!
Sophomoric is written all over you, Kifaya. And in case you don't understand this, it means childish. And if you don't, then let me put it this way: Kifaya le3b 3yal!

Kefaya le3b 3eyal indeed.
Well, they lasted a bit fo time... but, as patriotic Egyptians who would stick to tradition, it appears they are faltering.
That's not saying I dislike Kefaya. It's not even their fault! They're Egyptian; it's written in the stars... somewhere.

this isn't a new foundational manifesto, that's the old one but someone bumped up the date to make it pop in the front page for some stupid reason.
the first point in Kefaya's manifesto has always been about US hegemony, it seems you've never read it that's all.

I totally agree with you TB. See, that's the problem with us Egyptians, we often start off with a valid cause and drift away from it to join hte cattle. Why? Because we believe that popularity is hte only validation we can get!
Ya khossartek ya Masr!

But seriously now, I guess they're just trying to pull the heartstrings of the general populace with that one. 'Tis a shame though, that they seem to be a bit of an unfocused bunch.
