This toon shows an archeologist coming across a body-- the body of democracy in Libya.
Democracy in Egypt has not only already died; it was mummified years ago and has now crumbled to dust. Presumably, the street protests were completely useless. The cartoon is a symbol of what was thought to be a useless cause. For so many years, Egypt was without a democracy; rioting proabably wouldn't have done much to change things. Even if they got their way, would they know how to live in a democratic system?
