Are the Egyptians ready for democracy?

Is Egyptian Democracy possible? Still no answer, but what seems increasingly clear is that those frightened Nellies at Fox News and Hasbrah blogs were dead wrong to predict the Muslim Brotherhood would win any Egyptian election in a landslide. They're currently polling at 15 percent. Whoo-hoo.

Also, those of you who continue to insist that the brown little Muslims lack the innate genetic ability to create a democracy should remain ashamed of yourselves. Here's Colbert: [Part that matters starts @2:50 and continues into the second video]

Of course, as Colbert also notes, some on the right have an innate genetic wish for a Muslim Brotherhood takeover and the justification for another fun war on Muslims such a takeover would provide. Here's my plan: How about we wait to see what the Egyptians do, and then formulate our response as the situation dictates.
