That said, however, I don’t want to see the Muslim Brotherhood win. For all of Mubarak’s sins, he is not a Radical. He doesn’t want to launch a jihad against the U.S., Israel or the West. He has maintained the peace treaty with Israel.
I thought this was a pretty good analysis .
This is Obama’s revolution.
His administration has been working feverishly behind the scenes to destabilize Mubarak, and the Egyptian military.
They truly do want a radical Moslem regime in Egypt, just as Carter wanmted the same in Iran. The difference between Carter and Obama is that Carter had no idea what he was advocating.
.
excellent analysis.
It is. It’s excellent.
What a mess. Without a scorecard, there’s no way to know who’s on first.
I’ll be emailing this link to friends and relatives.
Yes, and it is also his Jimmy Carter moment.
Obama is the only person alive that seems to equal, if not surpass, Carter for political ignorance.
THX THX.
I think you're right. He had ample opportunity and a great deal of popularity among muslims when he was elected and did nothing to marginalize, or condemn, the muslim brotherhood. The problem is once these things get started they get away from those who think they can control them.
I believe Egypt will NOT seek out Islamic leadership, they are much smarter than other middle east nations, they want future US subsidies and tourism.
They know that a future with Islamic Brotherhood will cut off relations, tourism and a positive view, especially when the next President takes over in America.
One who is NOT a Moslem.
“I believe Egypt will NOT seek out Islamic leadership, they are much smarter than other middle east nations.....”
Hope you are right. To get there, the people advocating freedom and some kind of representative government in Egypt have their work cut out for them.
I’m joining Joel in his prayer.....”that Mubarak would hand the keys to the kingdom to a group of Reformers, men truly committed to steadily expanding hope, growth and opportunity for all their people, and doing so in a way that creates order and stability, not an opening for the Muslim Brotherhood to seize control.”
This is excellent!
You know, even with this somewhat religious bent to the article, I think that this would be a very good addition to the News/Activism Forum.
It explains the situation VERY well and I think that a lot of people would be glad to see it.
Could it be reposted there without the risk of having it pulled as a dupe?
Or would it be better to have it moved there? I don’t know if you’d want it moved, wmfights.
Or it can be reposted in News/Activism but not less than four hours after it was posted here, e.g. tomorrow morning.
Well, I’d be more than willing to repost it in News/Activism if wmfights either doesn’t want it moved or doesn’t object.
I know a lot of people avoid the RF so that they would miss this. OTOH, being here allows somewhat more control over the discussion that occurs in News/Activism.
Anyway, it’s tomorrow here already so I’ll check back sometime later when the sun and I are both up.
