instead of us propping up dictators, we should have been encouraging stuff like this all along. our foreign policy has been a disgrace for years, now we can set things aright. i hope.
Though this could also be the beginning of a nightmare. If suspicions are correct and the Muslim Brotherhood is the front to put theocracy in place this could be very bad for the U.S.A. and catastrophic for Israel.

We should have a huge say regarding what becomes of the new government simply because of the aid money provided each year. However with the current climate of self-loathing for America's past this administration has shown I can only hope and cross my fingers.
