#1 As Barry Rubin of The Rubin Report has pointed out, non-Islamist demonstrators are trying to get the military to hand over power to the Islamists immediately. We know what Islamists are like. Unfortunately, it's becoming pretty obvious that some Egyptian non-Islamists are seriously warped.

#2 As long as they're fighting each other, they're not much of a threat to Israel. To that end, I hope the Egyptians, Syrians, etc., spend the next 10 years in civil war. >:-(

#3 When will the State Dept. put out tourist warnings for Egypt?

Since tourism is one of very few sources of revenue that would put a real crimp in things.
I still expect to see the Egyptian antiquities destroyed by the fanatics in the same way as the Bamiyan Buddhas.
