Has Egypt come full circle? — 5 Comments

  1. The people don’t get liberty either way…

    True, but things were looking up for a good number of people during Mubarak’s reign — his wife, Suzanne, was a major player in the fight to end female genital mutilation and was making some headway in that fight. Those efforts all came to a stop once the Muslim Brotherhood was in power. I don’t recall reading much about this in the MSM; maybe I missed it.

  2. Strongman or jihadist state, those are the sole practicable choices that can take root in ME societies.

    It’s a cultural dynamic; perhaps best illustrated by, on one hand the Bedouin proverb, “I against my brother, my brother and I against my cousin, my cousin, brother and I against the stranger” and on the other hand, the choice offered by Islam to the world; conversion, second class/servant/slavery or death.

  3. Those efforts all came to a stop once the Muslim Brotherhood was in power.

    As the Left intended. Obama doesn’t particularly want Africa to be a free continent given the change in US polices towards Africa.

  4. In any state where tribalism of any kind is more important than nationalism, the only way to achieve a relatively stable situation is with a strongly authoritarian government.

  5. Hangtown Bob,

    Extend the term “tribalism” to include the conversion of nation-states from castles of their nations into free-for-all dumping grounds for any Tom, Dick and Third World Ahmed, and you know why the Left is so enamored of multi-culti. The failure of MC isn’t really a failure to them, it’s how things are supposed to be, the manufactured disease for which Marxism sells itself as the “cure.”

    And in a multiracial nation like the U.S. of A., the strategy will be Balkanization rather than unrestricted admittance of immigrants–at least in the first stage. Hence, the move away from the true racial healing that began in the middle of the 1950s, to the present perpetuation of race-hatred best exemplified by the Trayvon show trial and Rodeo Clown fiasco.

    The thread above about birtherism has it all wrong about what should make a person ineligible to being a head of state (any state, not just the U.S.). It’s not about where he’s born, for you can see for yourself how many native-born traitors there are. No, a Marxist should never have been allowed to get close to a thousand miles’ distance from the presidency in the first place. Nation-wrecking ideologies should be outlawed, not shown tolerance.
