It is the nature of the Left to like their allies more than their enemies.

That being what Islamists do.

In it he pretty much predicts what has happened. Ferguson also opines that Obama has never been on top of the ME situation because he is an amateur being advised by amateurs. Methinks he’s right.

One person not to ask is John McCain. In this situation, an Obama dither is preferable.

Bros. only path seems to be to shame the military into relenting. But the military must know what will follow if they restore the M. Bros. to power, or if they risk a real election.

The Muslims are free-willed people, responsible for their actions. One can only lay so much at the feet of Western intervention or the lack thereof. I’m not saying Obama’s moves aren’t boneheaded or evil (the former when the latter backfires), but this view from the glasses of “Western hegemony” is like the Leftists thinking we’re still in the Jim Crow era and blaming all societal troubles on right-wing whitey (or just whitey).

The consequences of the events of the recent years in the Muslim world may well be serious, but I’m done assuming active external hands making it all happen. Did anyone make the Europeans fight their Wars of the Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries? Neither can the Muslims blame their troubles and strife on the West anymore, in this day and age where the West has decolonized and is in fact by them (Muslim invader-immigrants) being colonized. I mean they can throw the blame, but it’s high time outside observers stopped giving their words respect.

Globalvillagism is an old and tired view. It would be better for the nations of the world to realize each of them isn’t owed a thing by any of the others.

For it is Obama who has made the US influence around the world, and especially in the middle-East irrelevant.

Carter allowed the terror-regime to come to power in Tehran; is Obama allowing the same in Cairo?

Looking at Syria and Egypt, one wonders if “the insurgency” was inevitable. (As far as I know there is no significant Shiite element in Egypt, so the comparison may not be apt).
