Election reform announced in Egypt

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak ordered the constitution changed to allow multi-candidate presidential elections in September, making a surprise reversal Saturday that could mean he will face a challenger for the first time since taking power in 1981

Of course, the Far Left will claim that this is just ANOTHER coincidence and has nothing to do with President Bush. Those coincidences are surely building up. It takes a heap of rationalization to deny Bush major (though not total) credit.

1. Palestinian elections
2. Syria to leave Lebanon, new elections to be held in Lebanon
3. First ever elections in Saud Arabia (although at a low level)
4. Elections in Afghanistan
5. Election in Iraq
6. Elections in Egypt

All coincidental.
