WHen the Egyptian economy totally tanks, where will they get the cash to pay for the over 50% of food that they import?

Will the USA give them the cash to buy the food?

Just askin’.

Of even greater importance: We ignore the U.S. situation at our peril! And the peril of our children and grandchildren!

The Obama Administration actively encouraged the inclusion of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in the eventual successor regime and has legitimized this avowed anti-American, Islamist organization.

Mmmm, lets see now, who is more of a "threat" to the safety and security of the United States among these 2?

And of these 2, which is more dangerous to our survival?

I especially welcome comments from those who (claim) that Mittens is 10 times worst than Dear Leader and thus, we shold all stay home or vote for someone else come November.

How's about any of you who have been disparaging the Mormon Religion (and no, I'm Catholic and thus do not necessarily support what Mormons advocate) provide ANYTING printed or advanced by Mormons which is even close to what many practitioners of the "Religion of Peace" in general and specifically, the Muslim Brotherhood (which Obama supports and defends) do?

The Muslim Brotherhood Creed: “Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

The Muslim Brotherhood Agenda as outlined in 1991 in Phildelphia:

The process of settlement [of Islam in the United States] is a "Civilization-Jihadist" process with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" their miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack.

The bottom line is that no matter what else happens, Egypt is facing a horrific disaster.

80 million people, with enough food to feed only half of them. 10% of their population (8 million) has hepatitis C. While some may refugee-emigrate to North Sudan, few if any will be able to make it to Libya.

The bottom line is that Egypt is about to fall down hard.

It will almost certainly turn extremely violent in a vicious civil war, and the army will decide the winners in that case. But even that will not solve anything.

Probably the best thing the international community can do is to isolate Egypt until they sort themselves out.
