I'm Predicting:

The United States has conducted formal diplomatic contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. This is the same Brotherhood that was banned by both Hosni Mubarak and Anwar Sadat. The same Brotherhood that was responsible for the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat.

The Muslim Brotherhood is the inspiration for al Qaeda and Hamas and Hezbollah and a host of other Islamic terror movements around the world.

Direct talks with the Brotherhood shows a radical shift in US policy.
The United States is trying to move the Muslim Brotherhood into the mainstream of politics and not just in popularity - they are already popular with about 20% support. The US wants them to liberalize their political persona - to emphasize the social and communal aspects of who they are. The US wants to help them be contributors to Egyptian society.

Despite the wishes and wants of the United States, the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt has threatened to boycott the recently announced November elections in Egypt. The boycott is based on the predetermined stacking of the election.
It is confusing.

I predict that there will be no elections in November and if the elections do take place as planned they will be neither free nor democratic
