Wither Egypt?

I've been both a supporter and a detractor of the "Arab Spring" in Egypt. I understand the frustrations of the Egyptian people, having to deal with the dictatorship of Mubarak and a horrendously crappy economy. I am happy that they want peace and democracy, and are willing to achieve it peacefully. But at the same point, I know that it isn't as easy as 1, 2, 3 to reach for a viable democracy. I fear that this revolution (for lack of a better term) has more in common with 1789 rather than that of 1989.

This problem is readily apparent in this transcript of a meeting with Michael J. Totten and a senior member of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood. You can read that here: Hanging with the Muslim Brotherhood.
