There is no doomsday in Egypt.

The military has control of the country. I also don't see the Egyptian military using that capacity to rule the people. The Egyptian's military capacity is greater than that of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is not necessarily greater than Iran, however, if Iran seeks to dominate the Egyptian people then it is another matter and one the people of Egypt could never predict. They also would not stand alone with such aggression.

However, the Egyptian military has wisely begun to round up those that would inspire violence within the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood. I have great hopes of the country of Egypt, it's' people and the next elections.

The Muslim Brotherhood needs to consider it's political solutions and prepare for a day when they may be acceptable leaders for Egypt.
