I don't give Egypt much of a chance becoming democratic as a result of the 'unrest', it is just incompatible with the culture, the primary religion and sharia law. No matter what CNN keeps saying about 'democratic uprising', no matter how much the left ignore the Muslim Brotherhood. It just is not on. Others have different ideas:
Bones of democracy Who'll build Egypt's future?
Many think that Mubarak's demise will create a vacuum that only Islamists can fill. That is what Mubarak wanted everyone to believe -- including the Egyptian Christian minority and the middle classes of Cairo and Alexandria, as well as Western democracies, led by America. Mubarak peddled that yarn while his government quietly supported the Islamists to prevent the emergence of democratic forces.
However, Egypt isn't the political desert that some claim.
Muslim Brotherhood?
