Now that Egypt's Mohamed Morsi has settled the constitutional issues facing his country, he can turn his attention to the truly pressing problems of the Arab Spring state. Would that be religious tolerance, economic growth, and the pursuit of peace in the region? Er ... not exactly.

Well if the Brotherhood wants it, could a presidential commutation be far behind? After all, Maobama said he would stand with the Muslims.
