So now....
- Do we see the Muslim Brotherhood take over and start a war with Israel directly or through proxy?
- Do we see a parliament that is fractured so much that it is useless? Possibly allowing a coup by the army?
- Do we see a rise of another strong man?
- Do we see a strong democracy rise?
I would love to see #4 but I am thinking it is the least likely outcome. #1 and 2 are my choices.
Israel Watches an Ally depart

The official said it was more likely than not that Egypt would maintain its peace treaty with Israel and added that, in any case, relations with Israel would probably not be among the first concerns of incoming Egyptian authorities.

“First, Egyptians may choose to embrace the model of a secular reformist state with a prominent role for the military. There is a second possibility that the Islamists exploit the influence to gradually take the country into a reverse direction — not towards modernity and reform but backward.
“And there’s still a third possibility — that Egypt would go the way of Iran, where calls for progress would be silenced by a dark and violent despotism that subjugates its own people and threatens everyone else.”
