I respectfully disagree with those on this thread that say it’s a forgone conclusion that hardcore Islamists will end up in power in Egypt or elsewhere.

Truthfully, no one has the foggiest idea how this will play out. It’s not even clear that there will be any change at all.

I don’t suppose the US has a good idea what the Egyptian army is thinking....?

I'd like to see what the islamists will do about the food prices, which have skyrocketed recently and provided a lot of fuel for these riots.

Well I’ll certainly agree with you on this- none of us have any idea how this will play out or end.

We have a distinct lack of leadership amongst Western allies at present and it is an unsettling moment. We’re all thinking, wondering, tossing out ideas and speculation- but that’s what we always do here during major events!

It’s good to read different takes- it makes me do my homework :)
