A call for sustainable politics in Egypt & settling for the imperfect


One definition of politics states: Politics is the art of settling for the imperfect, Pursuing perfection in a democratic model in Egypt now is not exactly the right approach & actually has been one of the mistakes of Jan25-2011 revolutionaries (and this by no means justifies compromising or forsaking values & ethics ,but this is a call for understanding how to build a "sustainable imperfect model"), This mistake has isolated them in ivory towers which led to a rising audience against them not only the pro-Mubarak `s regime audience but from the audience described as the "silent majority" a justified impression given that the revolutionary forefront either refrained from effectively getting involved in the political fabric or were polarized to straying  movements & parties or adopted the approach of aggressively criticizing everything 
without offering alternatives or solutions.

Egypt and the world should pass the stage of "A revolution or a military coup debate" & some immediate steps should be acknowledged & executed, a common understanding that a perfect model is not applicable & has never been applicable anywhere in the world throughout history ,an inclusive imperfect model is a basic foundation for a sustainable model ,The aggressive calls for "excluding & terminating the others" is leading us to nowhere ,more or less to a "swing model" where we are ruled by extremists from one side   which leads to a revolution getting us the extremists from the other side and so on in an endless loop.
Negations should immediately start for a "sustainable inclusive imperfect model".
