who are these 'outside' influences that you speak of? the Muslim Brotherhood have not taken the lead in the demonstrations, but rather support them and call for the resignation of Mubarak. The only leader im seeing emerge who would be backed by the west is Baradei. Will be become another Karzai? i have no idea about Baradei's political credentials, but i can only see him as a stand-in for the next legitimate leader.
In terms of influence, i think the media is having more influence than any other nation on this whole thing.
today i was speaking with another egyptian friend who has family there and he seems to think that that everything is overblown and its a beatup by the media.
should egypt decide on anything other than a democratic system of government, do you think that the world will not support the egyptians for something that they choose? i'm pulling hamas parallels here, but i could be wrong.
