Yeah, It’s starting to become clear that he does support the MB and political Islam. They are the most likely successors to Mubarak and that’s really really bad.

I would be more optimistic. If the MB were to try to gain power anytime soon, they would surely clash with a majority of the protestors who started and carried the revolution.

I would also not take ElBaradei too seriously, except maybe for an interim government after Mubarak, going into a presidential into a truly constitutional republic.

I think it’s pretty clear that the people of Egypt do not want just another strongman.
