People of Egypt: between a rock and a hard place

If you are watching the Egyptian uprising and don't feel like this about the possibility that the dictator could be deposed, I am not sure I really want to know you (or about you).

When, on the other hand, you consider the most probable replacement of the current regime, which is the notorious Muslim Brotherhood (the latest Pew poll gave Islamists majority of the votes), if the thought of the largest Arab country falling into the fundies' hands doesn't bother you, I surely don't want to share my pita with you.

Other choices? Slim to nonexistent. Check out this clip (via JudeoPundit):



If you consider the guy speaking from London to be a London-specific exception - think again.

P.S. Consider this too:
If you believe that al-Baradei, with no real political experience or any organized movement behind him, can dominate the Muslim Brotherhood, I have a bridge over the Nile I'll sell you. But it's even worse than that. It has been well-known in Egypt that much of al-Baradei's presidential campaign has been run by the Brotherhood. He's certainly not their puppet but to a considerable extent he is their pawn.
