Supporting Gadhafi to keep out the MB isn’t sane. Islamists are trying to take over the Muslim world but autocracy isn’t going to keep them out. The street has to benefit and become more free. Dictators and kleptoctats are not a viable option.

I don't watch Beck- but let me be clear- did he say we ought to support Gaddafi so we can keep out the MB?

When I was watching, he said that the forces opposing Gadhafi were MB which IMO simplifies the situation. Libya has a poor population but a high per capita GNP. Mubarak was stealing the Egyptians blind as well. If these governments don’t reform (which they were not) they will fall. The Islamists are everywhere a danger but the kleptocrats are just making their eventual takeover more likely. Glenn says we should have stood with Mubarak and I disagree with him. Crony capitalists will never voluntarily let a penny trickle down.
