Your faithful correspondent is of an age where he remembers the Iranian Revolution. During the time more than a few pundits and expatriate Iranians were singing the praises of the Revolution and Khomeini. Not long after the Shah had been exiled it was revealed that the new rulers were not only, in any sense, democratic, but they were Shi'ite fundamentalists of the worst sort. Some thirty years later we find ourselves still dealing with this bunch of jackals and are having a harder and harder time of containing their insanity.
Now we have a revolution of sorts in Egypt. Much of the press is behaving that this revolution will be the dawning of a new day in the land of the Pharaohs. They are correct. But it is not likely that their will be anything close to a Jefferson or Adams in charge in Egypt once the dust settles. More than likely a faction of the Muslim Brotherhood will take power and we'll have another fundamentalist Muslim regime to have to put up with.
Meanwhile, there is this:
