Egypt

[sidgb]

The jury is still out. The Egyptian people have probably just traded one dictator for another. Even if they have popular elections they will likely just end up with religious zealot leadership controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood that are little more than puppets of Iran. The new government will likely ride a regional hate of Israel and the US to temporary popularity. Its the women, non-muslims & gays that will end up worse off reguardless of how things shake out.

Anytime Iran and Hezballah are happy you have to believe things are probably going to get worse.

Don't get me wrong, pretty much all leadership in the region is about as bad as can be. But it can definately get worse. Just look at Iran, Lebanon and Gaza to see what locally controlled elections can bring. I fear and pray for the Egyptian people. I met a few when I traveled there and worry over their safety.
