“I hope you are correct but will bet you a case of beer that the muslim brotherhood will be at the helm of egypt at the end of this …whether they are openly displaying their flag will only be a matter of time …they will control the next government.”
Hey, I can’t claim a crystal ball anymore than anyone else, but things are being tossed in the air across the Maghreb now, and if we want to catch the goodies when they fall back to earth, we’d be best advised to run outside with our baskets at the ready.
The only guarantee we have that the Pig Fornicators will take the helm is if we write that off as a foregone conclusion, right?
To Hell with that. Get in there and block, damn it!
It may very well be that the Islamists DO carry the day, (although I reckon the Egyptians are more canny than that with their experience of the United Arab Republic, they and Syria, back in the day. From what I gather the Egyptians’ takeaway from that experience was that the Arabs were willing to fight Israel to the last drop of Egyptian blood, and the last pound of Egyptian treasure.)
I would note though, that the people of Iran don’t seem too “down” with their theocracy and the people of Lebanon have expressed their displeasure with Hezbollah. The fact of the matter is that the Grievance Lobbies just aren’t very good at governing a peaceable and prosperous nation,(refer to Pelosi, et al in our own recent history).
Do we recognize the revolutions that we ourselves fostered?
And lastly, while we talk a good game of Liberty and Democracy and respect of private property, are we willing to walk it like we talk it?
