Are you serious? They just handed Egypt to the wolves! I have no doubt that there are honest people protesting in Egypt, but they have no basis for political power and no organizational structure. In other words there is a political vacuum. And do you know what steps into a political vacuum? The most organized and fanatical group...in this case it’s the MB.
The lofty ideals of democratic revolution are inspiring to be sure, but the problem here is that there is no history of democratic intellectual dissent or any hint of an organized democratic political structure behind this “revolution”. This may be a bunch of people who want democracy, but they are being covertly encouraged by extremists...the people may be honest but their handlers are not. Ask yourself this question...if this is so good then why is Iran encouraging it? Could it be that they know something that the Obama Administration doesn’t or chooses to ignore?
This will not end well.
Why should we care? Let them work things out. This is the only way these people will ever find their way forward. We have more to gain from instability in the Middle East than not. Iran thinks that Egypt falling gives them more power. Egypt falling gives the people of the Middle East more power. It shows that even a mild dictator like Mubarak can fall in what were relatively peaceful protests. More people have died of violent crime in a handful of our larger cities than have died during these protests.
Chaos in the Middle East is good. It will strengthen domestic energy. It also for a temporary period give us an economic hit but that will just mean that our out of control govt entitlements and debt will come due a bit sooner and there is no better time than now. Going into 2012 this is a very good thing for us and for the reclaiming of America. The left should see this. If they don’t they are stupid. This is a game changer and a very good one for the US because our interests should not be in the Middle East to begin with except to protect our one true ally which is Israel. Fear of the Muslim brotherhood is over rated. They are not a dominant force in Egypt and if they were powerful enough to rule they would’ve a long time ago. I’m sure they will try to gain power and they will be a part of the govt but even in our country we have outright socialist scum elected to office. As long as we have the weapons to keep them out of Israel and off our shores then I don’t really care. Let the Egyptians determine their future it is better than one man who got rich off their & our backs to the tune of 70 billion dollars.
It is time to think different. Reclaiming America is also about getting our focus on what our interests really should be.
