#2 The 'moderation' and 'tolerance' of the Moslem Brotherhood will be the real issue over the next few months.

Their spokesmen (and even some spokewomen) will be all over place speaking about this. In the meantime, on the ground, in Egypt, the Moslem Brotherhood's agenda will be unfolding quietly district by district.

#3 Guess I missed my chance to view the Sphinx and the pyramids. I wonder if National Geographic will produce an hour long episode showing the destruction of these historic religious sites.

#4 Those sites and others like them are a key industry in Egypt. If the tourists don't come back, a lot of people are going to suffer. The Brotherhood's welcome may be shortlived.

#5 I'm surprised the Brotherhood is going for the government at this point. In a few months the country is going to run out of money to buy food, and then things are going to get really difficult for whoever is in charge. I was sure the Botherhood were clever enough to wait until they could offer to rescue the failed interim enthusiastic suckers. Now I am starting to wonder if that's the plan of the generals, or someone else.

#6 Don't attribute to malice what can be blamed on incompetence.

Especially on the part of the White House and State.

With those clowns, Pappy, it's likely both. :-(
