Honestly Egypt would probably become a Islamic dictatorship. Minority groups are already treated like shit in Egypt if an Islamic extremist group seized power then their would be a slaughter, best case scenerio wide spread persecution worse then what is already happening.

Countries in need of a revolution are Iran, Eritrea , China , Burma... those kinds of countries need a good uprising. Egypt at the moment while not democratic is still a more moderate country then those listed. Also extremists are way to popular in Egypt!

I would also say an uprising in Gaza would be nice, see Hamas kicked out of power and Fatah take over or a more moderate government.

Also someone mentioned Lebanon as a great example. I wouldn't consider a country held hostage by terrorists a good alternative to any Government. Hezbullah kills anyone who decents they're accused of several assasinations of Lebanese dignitaries. Right now Hezbullah is taking over Lebanon. No Lebanon is not a great example!

The Muslim Brotherhood may not be entirely to my tastes, but for an Islamist party they are really very moderate. Certainly they are no Hezbollah. In any case they do not seem to be even aiming to take power after this revolution, they are merely aiming to be part of the new government - they have stated that they want any new government to be democratic.

 

It's very sad to me that so much looting and thuggery is going on in Egypt at the moment. It's not the revolutionaries that are doing it, it's opportunist scum.

I mean, can anyone point to the last time there has been a revolution or rioting WITHOUT violence and looting?

Hell Martian Luthor King Junior often had to avoid police because people would instigate violence and robbery during his peace marches.

Is he some kind of comic book character?
