The rejection by Egyptians of their Islamist government marks a turning point — not only for that country, but for the entire Middle East. Over the course of the past couple weeks, the Egyptian people have made a clear and powerful statement that political Islam cannot and should not be allowed to suppress the broader popular will for moderation and tolerance.

I see this a turning point indeed. More generally, this defeat in Egypt may represent a turning point –not only in Egypt– the start of a slide downhill, starting slowly at first, maybe gaining momentum further down to swing back to – granted semi-democratic – secular and efficient Atatürk models. Specifically the Syrian conflict has morphed into a multiplayer geopolitical chess game which needs a resolution.
