Hey - it's "democracy" at work, don't you see? It's entirely plausible that the Muslim Brotherhood would win if Egypt held a real election instead of the King Country Washington style elections they've been holding for many decades to keep Mubarak as president.

According to the latest in Wilsonian Foggy Bottom theory, jihadis like the MB and AQ will put down their AK-47s and swords once they start having to run the schools, fix the roads, keep the used-camel salesmen in business, etc. We saw how well that worked with the PA once the Oslo "peace process" set them up in charge of places like Gaza and Ramallah. The Oslo idea worked so well in Gaza and the West Bank (The camel trails in Gaza are surely a model of contemporary infrastructure design!) that the Foggy Bottom gang is now talking to Hamas (Lebanon) and the MB (Egypt) as well.

Liberalism just can't tolerate the idea that there are people who are evil, you see (apart from "vigilantes" with cell phones on the US border, that is). The concept of a huge group of folks who will gladly kill so they can bring the entire planet under Dar-al-Islam is just too hard to take for our professional diplomat corps in Foggy Bottom.

Islamic Jihad and Hamas provide "social services" in Lebanon. They're still terrorist organizations and most Lebanese want them out too.

Pure and simple BS, stop your lies. It's a well established fact, friend, that there are over 1 billion evil people: they're called faithful Christians. Ssssh.
