I think that is my main idea and your points pretty much confirm that it is so complex and so different from country to country over there that we really don't know what is going to happen and whether it is good, bad or indifferent. Interesting point about Egypt and the American influence. I knew they took our money but have they modernized their culture or is it seething with religious resentment waiting to boil over?

Very complex and very disconcerting not knowing the implications of all this.... I suspect that you could get as many theories as you could get experts in the same room.

As for your point about a "benevolent dictator", can you point to one in history? I thought about it for a while and could not come up with one. I just am of the opinion that given our fallen nature that benevolent and dictator over time become incompatible terms. Maybe you can point me to ones that have truly met that mark for a reasonable period of time. I just can't think of any.
