I hope you're right.
Thanks, my friend. Me too.
I hope it isn't a case of the new leadership simply trying to appease to get their billion dollars from the USA. Appeasement leads to submission and sometimes war or further war.
No doubt that there is some of that involved. The new leaders and the military know that they have to ensure that the liberal elements in the US and Western Europe are somehow caused to see that this is not just a military dictatorship, so they have come up with a way to do so, and they will ensure that the MB people they allow to get involved can do no harm.
I would like to see Egypt go secular. It has so much amazing history that world should continue to experience. Of course, with their current situation, I wouldn't book a holiday to Cairo for $20. Actually, you would have to pay me $5000 at least to go to that country. And then, I would spend about $2000 on black covert body guards (think former SEALS, Delta, SF, Rangers, etc.).
Nor would I go there at this point...just like I will not go to Mexico under any circumstances.
However, I hope that the situation there in Egypt settles down. What they have to do is somehow try and bring at least a few of the 5-6 million diehards to the table, and then ultimately brutally crack down on any that try and wage violence and war against the developing secular government. The former may not occur until the latter is successful.
Just one other little possible factor, if I may be forgiven the Wheels-Within-Wheels moment:
What better way to keep tabs on potential troublemakers than to give ‘em a big job title....along with a great big office where they’ll spend most of their time?
JMHO, that may be how/why Petraeus got that CIA gig from The 0. Set him up just like a duck in a shooting gallery....
