#2  Vary the prose, Hemingway. You've used a lot of it before.

You could have stuck with "democracy has always been a joke in Egypt."

Srsly.

It might have even made you sound... smart.

#1  Say Egypt was the model for the United States...and Generals had EXCLUSIVE Regimental and Divisional Clubs with lots of Buffets and swimming Pools all down Mainstreet. And democracy was a joke which it always has been in Egypt. Egypt LIKES stinky old boots and big mustache just on general principles. Not because they like generals in general ( ignore the pun) but because the Egyptian population being one of the Moslem showpieces for Lysol and flywhisks and Values that have a lot to do with moral Emirs and Muftis and that sort of thing, can't govern themselves with out pulling their pajamas down and mounting a camel.

So you have to expect a few bombs under the Brass as a common occurrence ( just in general ). Amiskeen amiskeen mafeesh faloos.
