Why the Egyptian Revolution Can Be the Best or Worst Thing to Happen

Raymond Ibrahim  "Therefore, rather than naively assume that this revolution will lead to a democratic Egypt (and so the US should stand by), or cynically assume that this is unquestionably an Islamist revolt that needs to be crushed (by supporting Mubarak and tyranny), the US should simply do whatever needs doing to see that the revolt, in fact, leads to a secular and pluralistic society, which, believe it or not, many Egyptians would welcome.
"The secularists are there. Now is the time to support them. Without Western support, the Muslim Brotherhood will take over Egypt by default. And if that happens, the Middle East will rock like never before in the modern era."
