Sanguine Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 But, the chances of a democratic government succeeding in Egypt are vanishingly small, and the chance of the Muslim Brotherhood and other assorted thugs and sociopaths taking control are very, very likely probable. Mubarak may be a ruthless dictator, but in the middle east his government is fairly benevolent compared to his neighbors. I think the clueless one should not be playing with things that he doesn't understand - on any level - and that will have very serious consequences.
