It's not going to be democracy

In Egypt, this revolution will usher into power the Muslim Brotherhood, not democracy. Read David Warren today. As usual, he hits the nail on its depressing head. The brotherhood is taking advantage of the riots by Egypt's middle classes and has inserted itself into the fray. The formal credo of the brotherhood, shared by Hamas and all parallel organizations in Jordan, Yemen and elsewhere throughout the Sunni Muslim world is:"Allah is our objective, the Prophet is our leader, the Koran is our law, Jihad is our way and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope." If Egypt waits until peaceful elections can be held, it might have a chance. If the government falls now, all will be chaos.

Why can't reporters do a little homework and dig into things, instead of just covering "democratic" demonstrations in Egypt?
