I am sorry manc, I am not trying to ignore you or not answer you. I don’t agree with your fears, at least not to the extant that you would like. I am watching the people celebrating right now in Egypt...it appears to be secular, there are no marxist flags or posters...just Egyptian flags and joy. They are not chanting Allah, they are chanting Goodbye, goodbye.
Does it disquiet you at all that Obama and his administration largely share your reaction? i don’t know about you, but whenever i find myself on the same side of an issue as Obama, i step back and rethink that i might have wrong.
