I think there is ZERO chance of Egypt becoming a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy

They're in the streets risking their lives while demanding democracy. Does anyone in their right mind think they'll lay down and accept the rule of a handful of mullahs? How many signs have you seen carried by people demanding that Egypt be governed by theocrats? None. Egypt a fundamental Islamic theocracy? Not on your ****ing life, and CERTAINLY NOT AFTER FACING THE GUN BARRELS OF A DICTATOR.

Not. On. Your. ****ing. Life.

In the end, Egypt becomes an even STRONGER ally of the United States. Bank on it.

And then... the dominoes will fall. Very few ME governments will oppose the demands for change, and here's why: Their militaries will not support their attempts to remain in power, and here's my reasoning: I might wear the uniform, eat well, walk with purpose, and generally be treated better than the general population, but I have relatives... relatives who have been oppressed and mistreated for decades, nay, centuries. In the end, I'll side with them when they decide to take to the streets.

Some here think that the ME is about to be taken over by fundamentalists... In my heart I believe that the ME is about to be taken over by those who oppose theocratic governments.

The question that will be the hardest to answer when it's all said and done is... LOL I'll leave the arguing about who's responsible and why to DU'ers who are smarter than me.

The bitch shows up.

post, i was dating an iranian student during iran's rev (shah to ayatollah) -- & was somewhat hooked in to the iranian community at the university of washington because of it.

he's right. no one i knew at the time was expecting fundamentalism. you may find it hard to believe, but it's true.

i'm not saying i expect that, but i'm not so naive about the results of popular uprisings as some here seem to be.

things happen in the gap.

And in 1979, nobody thought Iran would be 100 times worse off that it was under the Shah, yet there it is...

Judging from the track record of the DUmbasses, this means that there is 100% certainty that Egypt is going hardcore islamist. 

Carter (former most inept president) gave the islamists Iran. Obama (most inept president) will give Egypt to them.  Israel must be secretly calling up reservists.

There is one clear clue that the mullahs will take over Egypt: If these mobs in the street were opposing medieval islamist lunacy, they'd have suicide bombers blowing up in their midst. Arab crowds involved in anything good are sure to be blown up. Arab crowds involved in bad things are safe, unless we have a Predator nearby.

This old Indian has been out of touch with reality for a very long time. I think there is a 99.999% chance of Egypt becoming a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy if Mubarak can't manage to hold on.

And the Muslim Brotherhood gets hold of the Country and the Military we built up and surprise surprise they get hold of the Suez Canal, the only option if that happens is to pay $15 per gallon gas prices or WAR, take your pick.

Precisely.  Anytime one of them says "Bank on it," that's the certain kiss of doom for whatever proposition is under discussion.
