#2 Whoever rules is going to have their job cut out for them. Because of a humanitarian aid boo-boo, some 15+% of their working age population have hepatitis C.

Their best bet is the Egyptian equivalent of "the Mexican solution", which was simply, whoever kept the price of tortillas and beans cheap was elected.

#3 The Brotherhood says it is not in favour of a religious state.

#4 E.g. WAFF > COULD EGYPT EMERGE AS AN ISLAMIC STATE IN FUTURE?

In 2011 + via the "Jasmine" pro-Democracy regional mass protests, for the Muslim Brotherhood + Islamists its about PCorrectly achieving DE FACTO FORMAL POLITICAL POWER - the real crux is what may change between now + Year 2015.

The OWG Caliphate = Global Islamist-Jihadist State is rising + intent on going nukulaar.

AND

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > SYRIA GOES TO WAR.

ARTIC = Pluses-versus-More-Numerous-Negatives for the Middle East, ME Democracy, + US-West/Allies iff the Assad Regime collapses.

IIUC, the Math says BABY ASSAD IN SYRUH = UNCLE MUAMMAR IN LIBYUH = IS "OUR MAN IN DAMASCUS/ASIA MINOR" [or One of Them] + ITS MORE IN THE INTERESTS OF THE US + ISRAEL + ALLIES TO MAKE SURE HE STAYS IN RULING POWER; OR ELSE AS AN INDISPENDABLE, POST-COLLAPSE, PRO-REFORM REGIONAL POWERBROKER + "HEDGE" AGZ IRAN, RADICAL ISLAM + RISING REGIONAL, GLOBAL NUC TERROR???
