I can't answer any of the questions other than saying a "wait-and-see" approach is warranted. The days of the US picking "stability" over justice I think are coming to a swift end. The old saying that "countries don't have friends, they have interests" is one that will fall to the wayside in the new information age makes it difficult for us as a nation to hide our unholy alliances.

Of course there are those who seem to think that america has never and can never do any wrong, and they are blaming the situation in Egypt on President Obama wholesale right now. Seriously, it's the usual pundits.
