conscientia mille testes
hummm, he met with these 2 ( I have no idea how large a following these have - Tagammu and Wafd parties),now he'll meet with the MB...
from a political standpoint this is a win for the MB, the MB can say they have met with the Veep or titular head of the gov. and can steal some primacy/legitimacy aside from their numbers, amongst the rest?
If the MB leave the meeting without Mubarak's head, what can we infer from that?
reading the dispatch below it seems as if a tentative normalcy is creeping in?

Feb. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman will meet with opposition leaders today to discuss possible constitutional changes and avert an escalation of protests demanding an end to President Hosni Mubaraks 30-year rule.
Suleiman, who met with leaders of the Tagammu and Wafd parties, may name today a committee of 25 people to prepare amendments, said Nabil Zaki, Tagammu party spokesman. The Muslim Brotherhood, the largest opposition faction, will also meet with government officials today.
Egypts banks will open today for the first time in more than a week, amid signs that violence is ebbing, after claiming as many as 300 lives, according to the United Nations. Oil prices and Egyptian credit-default swaps fell on Friday on optimism about the talks, a process backed by the White House. Egypts courts are also to resume business, Al Arabiya reported, citing the Justice Ministry.
Its important to support the transition process announced by the Egyptian government, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a speech in Munich. The region as a whole is being battered by a perfect storm of powerful trends such as a rising population of people under the age of 30 who cannot find work.
