#1 Foreign aid won't be coming. The Sauds don't like the MB's brand of creeping Islamic totalitarianism. The Euros are broke. The Russians might, but they have Syria to deal with. So do the Iranians. There's no assets of note there for the Chinese (the Egyptians won't give up any aspect to running the canal). The White House would love to, but there's an election coming up...

Does not bode well for the Muslim Broderbund.

#3 MB's brand of creeping Islamic totalitarianism. As opposed to the Saudi's entrenched form of Islamic totalitarianism.

I think SA's afraid of a new non-Iranian big boy on the Muslim extremist front. Kinda like two mafia families fighting over the same turf. When do they go to the mattresses?
