About your subject, I would ask you if you think a GOP President, let's say John McCain, would have acted better, or could have keep Egypt from overthrowing Mubarak? I don't think anyone was going to stop that short of a military intervention. -DD |

I will say that eventually Muslim Brotherhood will win in Egypt. Question for Obama would be what to do next. As for overthrow of Mubarak, McCain would play it safe. I don't think he would do anything major. |

Did Obama praise them, or did he praise the Egyptian government? There is a difference, a significant portion of their parliment is made up of secular members as well.

His affiliation is to Muslim Brotherhood. If you praise him, you are also giving credit to Muslim Brotherhood. If you remember from news, day after the praise, he attacked US policy. So, is he a friend or foe?. |

So we shouldn't praise Morsi or the brotherhood if they helped bring in the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza?
We don't agree with them, but I don't see how shunning them when their policy helps us, does us any favors.
If you remember from news, day after the praise, he attacked US policy. So, is he a friend or foe?.
He's a man in charge of a nation where their military is heavily influenced by the US. He's a man trying to appease his base, and keep decent relations with the US.
He's a politician.

So we shouldn't praise Morsi or the brotherhood if they helped bring in the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza? -- Just simple Thank You is enough. We don't agree with them, but I don't see how shunning them when their policy helps us, does us any favors. -- First people must understand who Muslim Brotherhood is all about. Instead of using shuning, what about exercise extreme caution. If you remember from news, day after the praise, he attacked US policy.

If they cite with Muslim Brotherhood,then good bye Arab Spring and hello dictatorship, possibly even worse than under Mubarak. At this moment it looks like Muslim Brotherhood will preveil.
