Reform called good for Egypt; bad for America, Israel

A posting has made the rounds on Facebook and Twitter in recent days: "Dear Egyptian Rioters: Please do not destroy the pyramids. We will not rebuild. Love, the Jews."

A humorous commentary, but the tongue-in-cheek post also points to a larger truth about the current turmoil in Egypt and its impact on Israel: A more open and freer Egyptian society would bring many positive democratic reforms to governance for its people, but it would most likely not usher in warmer relations with Israel.
