STRATFOR Dispatch: Regime Change in Egypt and a Radicalizing Region
http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20110131-dispatch-regime-change-egypt-and-radicalizing-region
The instability in Egypt comes at a time when the region is already in the throes of shifts. But contrary to popular fears, the region is not necessarily headed toward an Iranian led radicalization. Instead a new and still emerging complex situation is something that the United States and the region and the rest of the world will have to deal with.

Egypt is in a situation of flux, and it is really too early to say what will be the outcome of all the unrest and instability. There are all sorts of options. One option, one likelihood, is that the current regime rejiggers itself, reinvents itself, sends Mubarak a continuation of the old order. Another option is that there are elections and some form of coalition government emerges, and that’s where it gets tricky because the Muslim brotherhood, the country’s largest and oldest Islamist movement, is the single largest organized political force. In any such scenario the brotherhood is expected to play a large part and that raises a whole lot of fears in the region around the world of what will be the outlook, the policy outlook of Cairo in that situation.
