Instead, Egyptians got six decades of autocracy, with generals manning the machinery of state behind a patchy sham of democracy. Even so most people were overjoyed last February when the generals, responding to weeks of massive protests, stepped out from behind their veil, fired the president-for-life, Hosni Mubarak, sent his rubber-stamp parliament packing and promised a swift transition to proper democracy. Yet during the eight months since the revolution Egypt's new rulers have steadily lost goodwill. With the economy stalled and the political horizon still blurred, many Egyptians now suspect the army of dragging its boots.
