Mboge I agree entirely. However, when we look at a country's professional landscape for salvation, we use the legal profession as a yardstick. If we take Pakistan as an example, it was the lawyers who stood up to Musaraf. In our case, the legal professionals are up mainly to lining up their pockets... I know the environment is aggressive and unhealthy, but if we look at them collectively, only few border to stand up to the system. I understand the other areas you raised are valid, but I think that always exist in a chaotic dictatorship. People will crown themselves or those they feel comfortable around. But this struggle will be define by what no one expects. The element of surprise is what will undo tyrants not open tabling of ideas. I value the Egyptian example. All the moves against Mubarack was conducted with serious secrecy and meticulous planning, yet how can ideas be exchange in the open against an entrench dictator. It is a lamentable characteristics of how out of touch we have become. Yes, it will be hard to select few to coordinate, but the answer lies in utilizing the skills of committed brothers and sisters...How that is done is open to discussion.
