I rooted for the fall of dictators during the Arab Spring. Many people were saying that this could lead to Islamist groups replacing them. True dat. But can you name an Islamist country that actually manages to increase the standard of living? They don't and they rule by oppression and theocratic fiat. All of that needs to be seen by the people they purport to rule in order for them to be discredited. Well we have the first inklings that all may not be well in Allah-land. In Egypt, which imports more than half its caloric intake, wages must keep up with the price of food or people begin to starve. Yet the country appears to be heading for a monumental financial collapse in 2012, and perhaps by the summer. If Islamists strut about as though they rule Egypt, the population will blame them and their SCAF allies – not the Tahriris – for its hunger. The anger could quickly turn ferocious. After waiting 84 years to attain legitimacy and power, the Muslim Brotherhood may find it got suckered into taking over the ship’s help just as it heads into an iceberg. You can't feed people w/ Korans and restrictive edicts. These fanatics must fail and do so publicly so they can be discredited. Let the games begin.
