Egypt’s future is uncertain–that is the newsflash of the moment. Dire warnings about Islamic Fundamentalism, the Muslim Brotherhood, the possibility of a “new” Iran are nestled side-by-side with articles celebrating Mubarak’s forced resignation.

Every one and every thing faces an uncertain future. No one knows what tomorrow (or the next hour) will bring–for any of us.
