(I feel this is the right section for it)
For those living under a rock: Egypt is currently in the midst of a pretty massive state of revolt and civil disobedience. I won't go into detail, because Wikipedia has ti covered pretty nicely
Suffice to say, it's a sure thing that Egypt is in the midst of a revolution.
Thing is - this terrifies me. I am so worried by this.
I mean - yes, it's a good thing that a dictator is being removed from power, and government reform is more then likely on the way.
On the other hand - the reason martial law was declared in the first place was because of Islamic extremists. Whom are all over the place in the marches.
There is a very real possibility that somebody who actively supports an Arab-Israeli war will rise to power.
My concern is this - the last time there was a major conflict in Israel (not counting the Six-Days war) was the Suez crisis - which almost led to a World War. If the new Egyptian leader was actively against Egypt-Israel peace, there could be another conflict, which could lead to WW3.
What do you guys think? Am I paranoid? Or are my concerns legitimate?
