Democracy in Egypt or islamic take over?

I think you should do better phrasing your thread then. As fiel said, and as my post said, it was an educated guess on the current circumstances. Now they are taking advantage of it, as you'll read in the article, rather than staying out of it like they initially stated, actions justified this as well.

I did read the article. I also know that early on Obama was advised that the brotherhood had been seeking power for quite some time before and that they were not to be trusted. This is a similar situation as what we saw happen in Iran in the 1978-79 revolution. That was also seen as an anti-dictorial revolution but that soon turned to an islamic fundamentalist move to grab power in Iran. We also saw the same thing with Castro when he took power in Cuba. Castro said and did all the right things and once he had the power he quickly turned to Russia and sided with them against the U.S.

There are more examples but I think you should be able to get the point here. If you want to say he made an educated guess then he must have made one without listening to any of the people around him, who have seen these things happen before and are educated on this subject. Obama is not knowledgeable in matters of foreign policy and thus should listen to those around him who are. That is what is required to make an educated guess, something he clearly did not do which is why I left that out as an option.
