Egyptians still in search of political messiah
Despite their hopes, Egyptians will not find a leader with the power to effect the deep structural reform Egypt needs to move forward.
It’s apparent that many Egyptians have become disillusioned with the revolution. They see the path set out by young activists — the revolutionaries — as a failed plan to which they must find an alternative.

The main reason why Egyptians have become disenchanted is because they were truly looking for a savior to get them out of the current mess.
