I don't see "love and peace" happening. I see more Iranian type radical government over there, hating the USA for keeping these sadistic dictators in power while the country did nothing to help the people in anyway,

What the hell are you watching Pan? The majority of Egypt wants secular rule like America, the majority wants to keep peace with Israel, and the VAST majority (80% last poll I saw) strongly opposed theocratic rule. Hell they poll more strongly against theocratic rule than the US does.

Honestly you should be celebrating. Egypt has just does more harm to Al Qaeda than we have since before 9/11. Please understand this statement comes from a man who signed up before 9/11, and has been raised in the military. I spent my undergraduate time studying the M.E. as I assumed that's where the future conflicts would be centered for the next decade.

A free, open, Arab society in a populous nation which holds more of the collective Psyche than almost any other country, free of American "interference" is the worst nightmare for Al Qaeda as it is a beacon of light against their dark theologies.

Ignore the Muslim Brotherhood or any moron who plays them as a boogeyman. Again, I did 4 studies on them in college. First their entire leadership is in prison. They were rounded up day 1, before the protests started. Second, the Westboro Baptists garner more support in the US than the MB does in Egypt. Yeah... more Americans believe in someone who claims God invented IEDs because he hates a country that allows Gays not to be openly hung, than Egyptians believe this mysterious boogeymen group. Hell, they're not even on the damn terrorist watch list, and I believe my Grandma is even on that damn list.
