Seems to me you are marching to a different tune now that things aren't going so well:

I'm not going to say the Egyptian people were well off under Mubarak, but based on the newspaper articles I've read since the revolution, and especially since the presidential election process started, I don't get the sense that many of them think they are any better off post revolution, and in fact, many of them seem to feel as if they are worse off if they aren't a part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Considering you went on a whole rant about how I supposedly don't give a shit about how the Egyptian people fare as a result of their revolution but only care about myself living in Israel (which, I must remind you, is much closer to Egypt than where you live), if you somehow see recent events (military claims more power for itself, parliament dissolved due to ineligible candidates from the Muslim Brotherhood that supposedly had no interest in running the country winning election, election of the Islamist candidate who almost certainly doesn't uphold the ideals you would want to see in a democratic country in the presidential election) as a positive progression towards democracy or reasons to be optimistic about the future of Egypt, either you have a far more positive outlook on the world than I do or you are an incredibly naive hypocrite who is far more concerned with the promotion of "democracy" even though it seems to be failing before your very eyes. However, based on what you've posted about current events and your general disdain to consider facts when they are presented to you in the past, I'm inclined to go with the latter.
