As Michael Scheuer [former head of the Bin Laden unit and ME expert] said on Fox this AM, it’s counter-intuitive to think that the Egyptian people, in this time of tumult, are going to reach for a totally foreign concept such as secular democracy, something they’ve NEVER known, instead of something that has sustained them for thousands of years, their faith. Not likely. Liberty, as WE know it, is OUR dream. The Egyptians are not familiar with it.

I have faith in God, who gave us all freedom and the desire to live free. I really do not care what Mr. Scheuer has to say about it...it is just his opinion. I refuse to support tyranny over any people...these people have done more to be free than we have in our lifetimes...they deserve our respect. Not just our fears and anxieties.
