After the Egyptian revolution

Adam Schatz has a lengthy analysis of the aftermath of the Egyptian revolution in the London Review of Books. I don't agree with everything he says - particularly with his description of the American alliance with Israel as 'more of a liability than an asset' - but he makes some valid points about Egypt's future.

I would not be surprised to see another uprising in Egypt directed at the army and led by the Islamists 6-12 months from now. You heard it here first.

Read the whole thing.

The Islamists know an uprising would be crushed by the army.

They are not fools. They would rather wait to take power in an election or at least position themselves to have major influence on a future Egyptian government.

Whatever government emerges will be hostile to America and to Israel.

What could go wrong indeed
