I’m sorry but the track record for Muslims of any stripe doing the right and rational thing for themselves is pretty poor. We have been to Egypt and have seen first hand the abject grinding poverty, the street urchins begging for a crust of bread or a few coins, it is such a pitiful sight,,, and one begins to wonder what has happened to the many millions of foreign aid we have squandered in and on that land… Oh, that’s right, Mubarak spent it on some more Russian arms and tanks. Last I looked, no matter how long you boil an AK47, it still makes very thin soup.

God help us all.
