"[The revolution in Egypt] has the potential to weaken the US posture," Cole summarized in an interview. "If Egypt becomes more pluralistic, then the US won't lose influence completely, but it will be harder to exercise. Certainly, it will be much more difficult to issue fiats."
The weakening of US economic and diplomatic power in the region stemmed from Washington's relationship with former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
"If the US could persuade Mubarak to do something in Egypt, it would be adopted," he said.
Whoever emerges as the new ruler will surely need to take orders from Washington
