Anyone but El-baradai: Yes, we should totally push an Iranian/Muslim Brotherhood stooge to be the new head of Egypt. No way that would go wrong for the world.
More shelling of Israel, more silence from the press: The Palestinians are taking advantage of all-Egypt, all the time, to attack Israel without mainstream media notice. Oh. Wait. That happens even when it isn’t all-Egypt, all the time. My bad.
The Obama Doctrine: Abandon allies, and hurry! So, let’s recap: Obama gave his famous Cairo speech, where his biggest message was for Israel to stop building settlements. He did not push Mubarak to make democratic reforms, pretty much let him have his head, and now, there’s a good chance that the Muslim Brotherhood will get its claws into Egypt. The lesson is not lost on the region. That’s what happens when you elect a two-year senator with no real experience to be the leader of the greatest nation on earth: He folds in the clutch. Obama is doing more damage to American’s international standing that Jimmy Carter, and that’s saying a lot. Will he stand by Mubarak? No. Nobody in this administration or in the media listens to Barry Rubin, who has been warning about the Muslim Brotherhood’s extremism for years.
