As much as I wish freedom and dignity for Egyptians, I am concerned as well about the possibility of Islamic Republic of Egypt.
The Muslim Brotherhood may hijack the revolution just like the Khomeinists did with the Iranian revolution of 1979. And this could lead to war with Israel and yet another round of large-scale destruction in the Middle East.
Sandmonkey wrote on his blog that MB is not so popular in Egypt anymore, but seizing of power does not require popularity, only decisiveness and ruthlessness in a moment of power vacuum.
What is the opinion of Egyptians? I am just an Euro reader seeing it all from distance.
