From a Dictator, to Something Worse
Like much of the rest of the world I'm drawn to the growing unrest in Egypt. It appears that the events are approaching critical mass, and that Hosni Mubarak's dictatorial rule may be coming to an end.
The collapse of any dictatorship is something all humanity should celebrate, but we need to remind ourselves that those that may replace the existing dictator are more bloodthirsty than the tyrant they replace.
The Muslim Brotherhood is likely to take control of Egypt if Mubarak falls. The Brotherhood is the ideological home and is the birthplace of the ideology that brought us Osama Bin Laden and al Qaeda. Coptic Christians, already under siege from radical Islamists, could face an attempted genocide if the Brotherhood comes to power and let's loose their fundamentalist followers.
Like Afghanistan under the Taliban, Egypt could easily become a terrorist state and a threat to the United States.
Egypt may be ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood ... Lebanon is already under the control of an Iranian proxy ... China flexing its muscles ... An ineffectual foreign policy panty-waist occupies the WH ... I think maybe I'll read up on the Book of Revelation tonight.

"Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive"
The revolt in Egypt may be the beginning of the religious war that was been on the horizon for the last 50 years. This is not good. And what do we have for a leader? Maybe he will understand that when the POUS bows to foreign leaders, the message to the world is that it can raise hell.

Just give me a minute to consult my Spider Man comic book and find the quote the proves it...The religious mind set is always the same,and remember that YOU worship the same God as Osama bin Laden, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, just in a slightly different form.
