This article, written in June 7, 2012, is about the voting for president in Egypt. Her introduction starts with the current situation that the voting of last month has made two flawed candidates of the president. She informs how the courts and the candidates are flawed, how the others are acting to it, and what Egypt really needs. The courts and the candidates were not acting fairly so the voters are talking about boycotting the final vote. The credibility of the courts has been damaged because the former dictator was to be jailed for failing to stop the killings of hundreds of protesters but the six top police commanders were acquitted. The article contains the opinion of the writer, that Egypt needs a competent government credibly elected and that the electoral judges should put their political agendas aside and do their job fairly, the state-controlled media to stop fomenting the animosity against that protesters and bureaucracy to stop fighting to keep the old system alive. It also contains and ends with what the Obama administration can help and what Washington needs to tell to the two flawed candidates for the fair election. 


The author's purpose was to inform the flawed situation in Egypt after the Benjamin Revolution of the protesters. The author uses its opinion which shows the Egypt's desperate and urgent necessity of credible government.
