OTHERS SAY

No police state

— The military-led government in Egypt appears to have learned few lessons from the disastrous mistakes leading up to President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster from power almost exactly a year ago. Denying democracy and continuing to impose the iron fist of dictatorship is the surest way to stoke a revolution, as Mubarak and other Arab dictators learned to their detriment . . . .

There is no such thing as a democratic police state. Egypt’s leadership must stop concocting excuses to delay the transfer of power.
