I am sure that makes Egyptians feel better. "Lets go for the grumbler strategy. When the Islamists run our country into the ground and destroy any semblence of freedom over the next 30 years, educated people will recognize them as corrupt and hypocritical."
I am sure that the Egyptians would prefer that over your strategy of "let's have the military decide whether or not our elected government gets to rule us" that has worked so well in Democratic Republic of Congo and Pakistan.  Democracy has always been messy, and sometimes results in the election of inefficient governments.  But your military coups also bring inefficient governments into power.  Better a political party like the Islamic Brotherhood lose credibility than an essential arm of the state like the army.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
