What happens if Mubarak dies tomorrow?

His son takes over? Isn’t this what everyone is expecting?

He is 78 years old. One thing you seem to have forgotten is the army. They are pro-broterhood, however, it will still be a game of power. At this stage, the son seems to have good prospective, however, little experience and that's the risk. I beleive there is no hope under the brotherhood...It is just going to be another sad chapter for 80 million people. What happens if Mubarak dies tomorrow? He is 78 years old.

Unfortunately Egypt’s economic and political sterilization has made that an all too common sentiment. Egyptians have been fooled into believing that to be a viable option even the solution.

The have done nothing but drag Egypt's regional leadership role into the sewage of their short-sighted unambitious ignorant local and foreign policies (Can you believe the mess they made of last years Zionist invasion of Lebanon). The only thing these monkeys running the country deserve credit for is not dragging us into another disastrous war. It's like that Adel Imam movie: Mubarak's rule over the country has lulled the people into a state of political, economic and social sterilization. I say bring the Brotherhood on ... with or without Kifaya. They can't possibly do worse for the stagnating social, economic and political scene in Cairo.

On the one hand they are quite heterogeneous. Especially the younger generation has a certain liberal view of politics and faith (or as they would say of Islam).

It is quite difficult to have a change in politics in Egypt. Surely you need a broad public coalition to have some <strong>peaceful</strong> results. Thus the Muslim Brethren could be a partner. But, without doubt, a two edged one. so long, Marten Well, the Muslim Brotherhood is a special case. On the one hand they are quite heterogeneous.
