Washington Times Finds the 33 in the Egyptian Protests

The turmoil in Egypt is markedly similar to the revolution that gripped Iran 33 years ago. Egypt may be to Mr. Obama what Iran was to Mr. Carter.

Indeed, the Iranian protests leading to the 1979 revolution started in 1978. However, it seems like an over-simplification to compare what is happening in Egypt to what happened in Iran 33 years ago. There are similarities, to be sure, but there are critical differences in the nature of what the protests are about.
