Anyone who thinks that the Muslim Brotherhood is anything other than bad news is living in a fantasy world.
The problem with revolutions is that they favor the nastiest, most ruthless faction. Apparently the Iranian revolution wasn't really all that Islamic fundamentalist in nature originally, but Khomeini and his bunch seized on it as an opportunity to grab power. I'm hoping the same does not happen in Egypt, the Muslim world's experience with democracy has been less than spectacular.
