I believe Egypt will do just fine as long as they are not inundated by meddling countries. (Ours Included). Their army seems strong enough to maintain control and I think the average Egyptian is looking only for stability, not tyranny from anyone.

In some respects the 'revolution,' insofar as it consisted in the removal of just one person from office, will not change much. The whole world went hysterical when 'good government' was 'finally and forever restored' to the Philippines because General Marcos was removed so that Cory Aquino could take over, but as soon as the smoke cleared it became obvious that the Philippines and all its problems were still the same as before. Then the whole world went wild with enthusiasm that the Great Emodiment of Evil, Baby Doc Duvallier, was removed from power in Haiti and replaced by Aristide, but again, the change in leadership meant nothing and things quickly proved to have remained the same despite the cosmetic changes at the top. So unless the entire culture of Egypt, its system of government, its traditions of corruption, etc., can be removed, changing leaders shall have accomplished nothing.

 

But in other respects the revolution in Egypt may be important, particularly since it has destablized governments throughout the region, opening the way for more democratic regimes. But while Western analysts stupidly cheer, they seem to fail to realize two vitally important things: 1) The democratic will in those Arab countries which have now become restive, if it ever comes into control by more democratic forms of government, will finally be able to make manifest its collossal hatred of the Arab-Israeli peace treaties and de facto accommodations, which will once again make large-scale war possible in the Middle East -- something we successfully avoided when the anti-democratic dictators were in power. 2) When the Arab states were ruled by dicators with deficient popular support, those dictators needed U.S. support as a substitute, and the price that the U.S could charge them for this support was their compliance with American foreign policy objectives. As soon as the democratically-unsupported leaders go, the new breed of rulers will have democratic backing from the local population, so they can tell the U.S. to go to Hell -- and they will.
