The Muslim Brotherhood: good or bad? Nobody knows, especially the voters.
I don't pretend to understand Egyptian politics, or any democratic politics for that matter*, but this much I know: by the look of things, it's going to be damn hard for the Muslim Brotherhood to convice global public opinion that its freshly arrested spiritual leader Mohammed Badie is a goodie.
*well, who on earth can understand democratic politics? You can manipulate it, buy it or rig it - but dig it??
P.S. Of course, it would be absurd to suggest that what's happening right now in Egypt is democratic politics, but.... well, it's just absurd. (This much I know, however: there's no shame in getting carried away into the absurd when slagging off democracy.)
