"Most people are depending on the next president to help Egypt get past the post-Mubarak era with the least damage." -- Al-Ahram "Questioning the performance of the president would be impossible because his performance is judged according to the role given to him. And that role depends on the authorities granted to him by a constitution that has not been drafted yet." -- Akmal Qortam, Al-Masry Al-Youm "The crisis will end soon, though we do not know whether the Americans would go to court on 26 February or stay in the refuge of their embassy in Garden City until the case is settled and then leave directly to their country." -- Emadeddin Hussein, Al-Shorouk "It is ironic that on the very first anniversary of the day in which Saleh vowed never to step down as Yemeni president, he was forced to leave the country exactly a year later." -- Al-Ahali "Many are weary about how long it took for the Egyptians to secure direct action and sever ties with Al-Assad's Syria." -- Tarek Al-Hamid, Asharq Al-Awsat "There appears to be a deliberate policy of isolating Syria in the region." -- Khalaf Ali Al-Muftah, Al-Thawra
