Promoting successful transitions to democracy should be at the center of transatlantic strategy in the Middle East following the 'Arab Revolutions,' and Egypt, the most important Arab country, should be the focus of this effort. Egypt cannot become a stable, moderating force in the region and a strong partner for the United States or Europe if it cannot democratize. Democratization will be extremely difficult, and promoting democracy will be a long and frustrating task for outsiders. But the alternative — a failing Egypt left on its own — is worse for U.S. and European interests. |
