It is tempting to dismiss other countries’ experiences, particularly after Egypt’s youth-led grassroots movement delivered something that no one thought possible (toppling in just 18 days a president that had ruled with an iron fist for 30 years). And some countries do indeed differ from Egypt to such an extent as to make potential lessons misleading.
人们很容易倾向于拒绝其他国家的经验，尤其是在埃及由年轻人发起的草根运动做出了一些没人觉得有可能会发生的事情之后（18天内推翻铁拳统治了30年的总统）。而有些国家确实与埃及有不同之处，借鉴它们的经验则会令埃及误入歧途。
