Clearly the Muslim Brotherhood will try to make their move, but hopefully they will not be allowed to do so.<br /><br />Ironically this is the result of a global financial meltdown. Times were not good for many of the Egyptian citizenry... lots of poverty, and basically a hard life. Add the economy going south, the loss of jobs, the inflationary food prices, and they have had enough. I feel the revolution was started by those that felt they had nothing to lose. <br /><br />Should Obama get any credit ... no. Was the Muslim Brotherhood behind it... no. But they both are trying to worm their way into it.<br /><br />Generally I am not an optimist... but I am hopeful that this goes the right direction. This could be the stepping stone that Bush hoped Iraq was going to be. Or it may prove that our hopes of any Democracy in the Middle East is nothing more that a naive dream.pjmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-18570482913356504442011-02-12T12:46:54.886-08:002011-02-12T12:46:54.886-08:00In six months or less the region will be in flames...In six months or less the region will be in flames.
