(A) is always greater than (B), so sell all the (B) you can to anyone who will listen and focus on it. It has nothing to do with your intentions.
You are correct, IMO. This cry for Democracy is a front, a passion generated by paid agitators. Once they succeed, the minority Islamists will take over and these countries will become Theocracies. Mubarak, no matter his failings, did keep the Islamists in check. They have now defeated him and the other leaders who held them in check.
