No, I’ve not lived under a dictator, but I’ve watched decades od both African and Latin American countries veering from bad government to worse with just your attitude of ‘anything is better than what we’ve got’. Already the NYTimes has had to report that the MB is working in concert with the army. There’s little difference between Marxist, theocratic and simple strongman dictatorships—except that the theocratic ones that Middle Easterners go for are part of a major global threat.
The US should not have worked with and blessed the MB, as the Obama administration has, and it should clearly have offered support only for reforms that the people would not have gone for—and so the US should not have been involved in pressuring Mubarak out. Instead we should have backed the real voices of reform in Iran.
The US Government is not God Almighty and the US Government is not omnipotent.
The real power in Egypt is the army and if the army wants to work with the MB, the most severe sanction the US Government can apply is to withdraw the 1.6 billion dollar aid granted to the Egyptian army. (But that would have several serious consequences like putting Israel in danger and drawing the army deeper into the hands of the MB).
Egypt is an independent country - I don’t think you have fully grasped that fact. You have three levers to apply - the economic lever, the diplomatic lever and the military lever.
The best bet is the diplomatic lever, and the best diplomacy is conducted in secret. I advise you to pray for your President.
(P.S: What do YOU think the US Government should do?)
