Get rid of the presidency

That's the advice of Bruce Ackerman with regards to Egypt.  If Egypt does not, it is likely that the Muslim Brotherhood will once more win the presidency, a situation that the military would not accept, which, in turn, would totally sour the Brotherhood on any future attempts at democracy.

Ackerman feels that in a parliamentary election the Islamists would not win a majority but woud likely be the top vote getter.  Thus, they would have to seek support from secularists to get anything done.

Is he ascribing too much sanity to the Islamists?
