Obama and Egypt; The Success Story

[hi_im_god]

there's a solid 15-20% of the egyptian populace that supports a theocracy. it's probably just a little less than exists here but it's better organized after 60 odd years of incompetent repression. pre-revolution egypt was no north korea.

the vast majority of american aid to egypt goes to the military which is the one institution that has nearly universal support. it's the glue holding the country together right now.

if we want to act against our own long term national interests we could walk away. and watch the better organized minority take over.

but that would be like cutting spending during the worst recession in any of our lives. no responsible adult would do either.
