Is this unrest in many Arab countries about democracy or will it end up being an Islamic revolution?

In Egypt today it seems to have been hijacked by the Muslim Brotherhood. Not good for the Egyptians and possibly not good for the rest of the world.

Pro-Democracy Revolutions a Big Problem for US

Obama Administration Struggles to Cope With Threats to Key Allies

For decades it seemed that the US was able to keep its authoritarian allies propped up more or less indefinitely, but the simmering unrest combined with crumbling economies across the region have combined to produce a region-wide phenomenon, where every US-backed dictator appears at risk.

Bit by bit the mother of dictatorship and slavery is crumbling... good riddance to the worst rubbish the world has ever seen!

Western hypocrisy towards the Arab world stands exposed

That such a dilemma exists at all, of course, is largely of our own making. We have long observed a double standard in relations with most Arab countries. We turned a blind eye to internal repression and stagnation, so long as the appearance of internal stability was preserved and the oil routes remained secure. The consequence was a chain of undemocratic regimes from North Africa to the Gulf, which enjoyed Western, primarily US and British, patronage. When, as in Iran, popular anger led to the overthrow of the pro-Western regime, we called foul and were surprised to be shunned. Leaving aside our differently lamentable treatment of Iraq, this is the state of affairs that persists pretty much to this day.

America's neoconservatives, once such vocal champions of democracy in the region, have fallen strangely silent over these latest protests. And how rich an irony it was to hear Tony Blair – the man who so heedlessly helped to topple Saddam Hussein – speak yesterday of the need above all for stability in Egypt.

Albania: Tens of Thousands Protest

Tens of thousands of antigovernment protesters marched down Tirana’s main street on Friday, despite appeals from Western officials to reduce the political tension. The demonstration commemorated the deaths of three protesters killed by National Guard officers last week. Protests begun over the disputed 2009 elections flared into violence last week after the deputy prime minister was implicated in a corruption scandal.
