welcomed by pro-democracy protesters.

But what about the majority of the protesters? (muslim brotherhood, other Islamofascists, communists, and supporters of rival wanna-be-dictators?)

Nice. New dictatorship in the making.

In case you haven't noticed, it's very difficult to go from a non-democracy to a full democracy. This kind of thing can take decades - look at S. Korea, for example. That isn't to say that we shouldn't be watching the military carefully. But I wouldn't write this one off just yet. Dissolving the government seems like a necessary step. The country may require a new constitution as well.

This is Egypt, an Arab country. Of course there will be lots of strife for some years. I'm willing to bet money that they don't get exactly what they bargained for and will end up with something worse than what they had. The mayhem is just beginning.
