Two years ago crowds of protesters in Tahrir Square persuaded Egypt's army to take the side of the people and oust the dictator, Hosni Mubarak. The disruption that marked the second anniversary of the country's revolution was of a far darker sort. On January 25th thousands demonstrating against President Muhammad Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood clashed with the police in Cairo and other cities, leaving at least a dozen dead. For the young, mostly secular, revolutionaries of Tahrir Square whom the West cheered on, things could hardly have gone worse. A little over a year ago the Islamist party that sprang out of the long-oppressed Muslim Brotherhood handsomely won a general election held in stages over several months; last June, with the Islamists still on top but already beginning to lose popularity, Mr Morsi narrowly won the presidency. Since then he has rushed through an Islamist-tinted constitution endorsed in a derisorily low turnout by only a fifth of eligible voters.
