New 18-20 years (average female reproduction time).
It's taken China a long time (in earnest in 1984 and still happening today; political reforms are still very minimial). It's taken South Korea less time (their latest Constitution was adopted in 1988 and their political reforms were farther reaching).

Don't misunderstand - it's going to be a slow process. But I think the latest news is promising. When leaders decide to change policies, liberalization can happen very quickly.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Like in Egypt?
“They are serving the Americans, just like Mubarak before them did,” says Mohamed Adel, a Cairo security guard, of Egypt's military rulers. “If these Americans were hurting Egypt, they should stand in court and face justice, not run away with the help of the Army.”

Hearts and minds and all that. :0(

New I'm no expert, but military's been running Egypt since '52.
Nasser was an Army colonel.

The system won't really change in Egypt until the military gives up power. Kicking Mubarak out wasn't really a change there. Not yet, anyway.

Yeah, "hearts and minds" is hard. Especially when it's not done very well...

Cheers,
Scott.
