Still its irrelevant.
Egypt was ruled by military or dictators through all its modern history on Soviet side or American.
Democracy in western sense was never an serious topic there-the issue was more of Arab pride or pan Arabian domination.
Asking question why democracy hasn't evolved there like in the west not relevant to this topic.
Its more relevant to theological discussion about culture and history of ME.
