If we hadn't played the Islamists game, but that isn't want Ubama and the eliets wanted, now Israel and your typical Egyptian is caught in the middle.
No the Brotherhood won't be going away, but neither will their opponents, I worry about a very real chance of Civil War in Egypt, we are almost here, that would be 2 Civil Wars going on at Israel's North and South border.
I can't shake the idea that this is what Ubama wants to get back at Israel, think about how unstable your country is when your neighbors are at war.
As I have often said, the ONLY people in the ME we should deal with is Israel. We owe them for being the scapegoat all these years and holding them back. People died because of our policy. And that comes with a price.
Arm them to the hilt, put troops at their disposal if needed along with full carrier battle groups. Because they are us.
The one and only reason we are in the ME is oil. We have more of that than anyone and now we know it. So there is no point in continuing any relationship with people that want us and Israel dead, None.
Sooner or later the rest of the world will learn what Russia did in Afghanistan and now us. You cannot bring that culture into the civilized world. So leave them to their Allah and cut all ties.
And make them aware that ANY attack on the west gets them remote controlled death.

Really, any “civil War” in Egypt will be the islamists against everybody else who declines an islamist caliphate. That's not so much a civil war as it is a war on radicals & terrorists. The USA is supposedly waging such a war.
Obama/Clinton are TERRIBLE partners to have in such a conflict. Even the Saudis are POed at Obama/Clinton. Recall, they loved the 2 Bushs.
China & Russia are rising. America & the West are in decline. I think Egypt's military is ready for a sponsor change. I don't blame them.
As for Israel, she is well used to 60+ years of instability on her borders. That muzzies are killing muzzies, for the most part, will not significantly affect Israel.
I can't decide whether Obama just hates Israel's existence as the Europeans do, or he's like a kid left alone for 5 years in the control room of a nuclear power plant - meltdown.
