Do you have a link for your quote? Thanks
Yeah, I think that quote has to be taken in the context in which it was asked, time-wise and otherwise: it almost sounds like a push-poll. Sorry I’m not as “wised-up” as some people on this thread, but I don’t think the MB has any real chance to extend or capitalize on its already marginal influence or power in Egyptian society. I don’t exactly know what or who it is who the MB can “take control of” to gain it access to the levers of the Egyptian economy and society that would enable it to set Egypt on a course toward development, far high employment numbers, more affordable housing, and MORE THAN THAT, keep it ISOLATED from the kind of permanent chaos on the world stage that people like El Baradei would require of it. Egyptians recognize that their problems are practical, and I think plenty of them realize that deep-down, exchanging Mubarak for the Jihadist Muslim Brotherhood would make their situation far worse, not better.
