My understanding is that the people’s desire for an MB islamist government has waned. I think there is an economic component as well vis a vis tourist dollars. Replaced by whom? I don’t know. But I suspect another Mubarak-like strongman.

Obama destroyed 40 years of foreign policy achievements we had with the Egyptians.

I think the people of Egypt want the Muslim Brotherhood out. If the MB gains control they will destroy the pyramids and Egypt's history. That's where the tourist dollars are.

Right on the money my friend!

Yes, Carter destroyed 30 years of US influence in Persia.
He did massive damage to US interests in only 4 years.

Obama in 6 years has been given a mandate to unravel all US gains since 1945. This is serious stuff. Egypt was the USA’s kingpin in the Middle East, (even though secretly it is Israel but can't say it publicly) and now, that is virtually gone.
