it's like saying islam is the religion of peace...oxymoron

No, it's not. But it's culture makes people stupid. Get them into a Western Culture, and most do better than average. A liberal culture makes you do wrong things over and over.

these people are not 'very smart'


If they aren't very smart and they kicked our collective asses, what does that make us?

I am amazed that the press and the Administration are not making more of a fuss over Morsi's assumption of dictatorial powers. This is an enormous issue, but so far ignored.

It will be a cold day in hell before the lefties at SI recognize that Morsi's power grab is a prelude to even more corruption, huge human rights abuses, etc. They seem content to laud the 'potential' of the O! - Morsi connection. Perhaps O!'s 'charm' will result in a kinder, gentler dictatorship.

Those folks never cease to amaze.

It seems increasingly likely that Egypt will return to its time-worn pattern of democratic promises followed by dictatorship. The distinction is that the Brotherhood is no friend of the USA. The other dictators - Sadat, Mubarak - were happy to take our money. The non-aligned Nasser aligned himself with the USSR and got the Aswan Dam and weapons in return, a good bargain, but not one which ended well.

Egypt is the ME's Argentina.
