“The historical record shows America and Israel have funded, armed, and used radical Islamist groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in order to counterbalance the rise of nationalist movements as well as to advance their geopolitical aims and political narrative in the Middle East….

The channeling of the creative energies of the Middle East by America also includes the financial and diplomatic support of color revolutions and popular uprisings that pose no real threat to the new world order power structure and the Western central banking dictatorship.”

I’m conditionally optimistic about this, although I’ll be curious to see what the people in the streets, who have fought so hard for genuine democracy, think.

Here’s hoping the Army “goes quietly.”

This could be testy times between the military and the Brotherhood. It remains to be seen whether the military will really let the Brotherhood rule. Maybe this will turn out to be something like Pakistan with each segment having its own sphere of influence.

Oh no. The military will remain the central power for quite some time.

My speculation: The military knew for some time that Morsi won the election, if only by a few percentage points and wanted to make sure that they (the military) could over rule him vis-a-vis Israel and Palestine or any other policies int the region.

The last thing the West will tolerate is a nationalist and Islamist Arab democracy. My prediction is that, with the discrete belssings of the US, Britain, every Western power that cares at all, the new Egyptian government will be subject to military coup within milliseconds.

(I bet that there is out-and-out panic in the high places in Israel over the outcome of this election – a non-puppet Arab democracy on their border? This is a threat indeed!)

I don’t think they’re happy about the outcome, but as cmaukonen commented @5, the military remains the power in Egypt. Same as it ever was.
