I think this is unlikely, but not impossible.

I agree. The real problem in most of these place, more so in Libya and less so in Egypt, is that if there is no organized group in place to step up and seize the reigns of power until some electoral process can be put in motion then you run the risk of replacing one dictator for another, or in the case of this region, a more radical Islamic organization. I only mention the radical Islamic elements because often in the background of the chaos of these countries there is a well structured religious organization, with leaders and followers. Without a plan the result could be worse than the previous situation. I don't know. Time will tell.
