OK,, Why did you post this link??? Individuals on this site engage in conversations, for entertainment, for education, and for arguments. You don't throw up posts to see if they stick to the wall.. State your opinion, start an argument, laugh or don't post... :mad: |
Sorry, I forgot to add my comments. So it looks like Egypt is becoming an example for other groups to initiate change but whether it is for good of the US or not remains to be seen.

Remains to be seen???????????

This is the story folks should be reading. http://en.rian.ru/world/20110203/162433368.html "Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood movement has unveiled its plans to scrap a peace treaty with Israel if it comes to power, a deputy leader said in an interview with NHK TV. Rashad al-Bayoumi said the peace treaty with Israel will be abolished after a provisional government is formed by the movement and other Egypt's opposition parties. "After President Mubarak steps down and a provisional government is formed, there is a need to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel," al-Bayoumi said........" Don't look for this to get a lot of play in the US press. |
Pete,
I was talking about Yemen. There is a general disdain of Egyptian populace towards Israel but is that the same sentiment amongst common Yemenis? Anyone been to Yemen here and interacted with the population? |
It don't matter what the common folks want

While events appear to be moving fast right now and everyone has that warm and fuzzy "Democratic" feeling look to the long term - like Hamas, the MB is going to cement itself in power in a number of countries. In the next war between the Muslim Nations and Israel who do we back? Israel or Egypt? |
IMHO, the Yemenis make the MB look like the Girl Scouts.
They are extremists and hate the Israelis (and us). TR |

IMHO this article raises some valid points: http://www.presstv.ir/usdetail/163476.html More broadly, our policy decisions vis-a-vis the Middle East/Northern Africa/Israel/etc are conspicuously short sited. For example: It does not take an expert in international relations to understand that supporting a single leader (especially a dictatorial one) is not sustainable for, at the very least, no other reason than he will eventually die. |

Now go back and follow the link in post # 4 of this thread. Do you see any benefit to peace in the region with throwing out a peace treaty that has kept the peace for 30 years along the Egypt/Israel border - well, in a fashion. With the removal of our MFO forces from the border area do you think that will make things more calm? How long before rockets are launched into Israel from the area and when asked the MB leaders of Egypt shrug and say "I don't know"? How will the MB in charge of the border crossing into Gaza inpact weapons smuggling? Things are going to get very, very interesting after the next election in Egypt. |

Your points about the borders and dissolution of a long standing treaty are well taken. However, as you say, the peace has been kept "in a fashion." I am suggesting only that we consider new strategies/solutions and not simply repeat what has already been tried. ("We" meaning whoever is making the applicable foreign policy decisions at that moment) |
You are wrong

Do research on the term before claiming somebody like Todd uses it to refer to those practicing Islam. |
