A "good" relationship with the U.S. can open the floodgates for very large Islamic migrations to the U.S. down the road, as a "new, moderate" aspect to the new regime would make it politically much more feasible to allow trade and travel between Egypt and the U.S. On the other hand, if extremist radicals completely take over Egypt, that would actually be a huge setback for Islamic radicalism, as Egypt would not then be as politically correct in the U.S. and therefore would not serve as well to stoke an "open door" U.S. policy.
