Fair enough. I mean, I assume, until proved otherwise, that the Muslim Brotherhood is anti-Israel, and, to a lesser extent, anti-US. They may have changed, but an exclusionary group that seeks religious law is a terrible thing, even if they happen to be replacing worse tyrants than themselves. I’m not at all sad about Mubarak gone, but I won’t be in the least happy with an avowedly theocratic group coming to power.

A coalition would be the best to hope for, I think. Such things are precarious, especially when literally next door to Hamas— with the MB having links to Hamas.
