Religious extremism in any form has plagued humanity ever since the first man looked up and thought he had some type of devine , and he needed to make sure everyone else saw the vision as well. Many times, on pain of death.

It is just a matter of time untill the Islamic Fudementalist take over Egypt. The Generals are just biding time. They will cash in their offshore bank accounts, move to the villa in Switzerland, and leave the Country to rot in it's own ignorance, and religious fevor.

The military has always run Egypt. Same direction this country is headed.

Egypt is doomed to be a Hellhole. They've replaced a dictatorship with the beginnings of a majority rule system. The problem is that the mind of the average citizen has been poisoned with Islam. They will probably vote for Sharia law which will take their freedom away again. It's hopeless.

I actually agree with you. Egypt is worse shape for the USA than before. But there was nothing we could really do to stop it. Damned if you do , damned if you don't on that one.
