Nor whether the military would let it happen. Here's a scenario that worries me. The military allows an election, the Muslim Brotherhood wins a plurality because of the fractured nature of the vote, the military decides that isn't going to happen and bingo, we have what we just got rid of, a military dictatorship that will have to rely on force. Would they be worse than Mubarek? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on who wins the internal power struggle but one thing we know for sure, the list of benevolent dictatorships in human history is incredibly short and in the Mid East non-existent.

Of course thats just one of many permutations that could happen........
