Moussa is considered a consensual name some how. Some say that he tried to please everybody in the Constitution committee and the military needs a good civilian face as President that they will not clash with who can deal with the world ..etc.

Notes from the Underground: The Land of Fallen Heroes
By Wael Iskander In effect the tables have turned in Egypt, the younger people hold the higher moral ground. They can see murder as a crime, theft unacceptable and impunity as corruption. They’re being asked by an older generation to turn a blind eye to injustices, to be practical, to be adults. Since when did adults preach moral corruption in the world so blatantly? No wonder those young people are in a constant state of depression and despair.
