Egypt: So what's it like to visit a military dictatorship

Sorry Hosni, but I thought I should point out that Egypt is still a military dictatorship. Not like we had long political discussions with our tour guides, but it was interesting to visit one after a long break. I think the last one I was in would have been Morocco 20 years ago.

Basically I think Mubarak is a little more photgenic than Chirac, but it's hard to tell, since we don't have any political posters up in France right now. I suppose if your not really running in an election, you kind of have to campaign all year round.
