CBS News interviewed the new Egyptian Vice President today. He promised the military would not harm the protesters, just what the Obama administration wants. This, after seeing the protesters climbing all over military vehicles in Cairo. As the cartoons say, "That's all folks."
Does anybody believe this is truly "the people" revolting? It's not as if it's a grass-roots movement like America's Tea Party. If it's not organized then who's behind it? Even Fox News is taking the bait and doesn't think the Muslim Brotherhood is the impetus behind what's going on there. If that's the case then why is it also happening in Tunisia, Jordan, Yemen and elsewhere in the region?
Can we soon expect to see Iranian-style governments hostile to American interests in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and in every nation in the region? The answer, I opine, is yes. And our American government will have aided and abetted their victory. Initially we'll hear it's a democracy, a wonderful thing for Egypt after the bad, bad Mubarak is gone. And at some point in time soon afterwards the Muslim Brotherhood in some guise will seize power.
Earlier generations of Americans and Europeans, post World Wars I and II, conceived the League of Nations and the United Nations. Both concepts were ideals. Well, the League of Nations died and the UN has become a tool of those who hate us. Too bad, as the situations (read people) in Iran and Egypt cry out for intercession by the good guys, those right-thinking nations who wish to preserve the peace.
Alas, Camelot went temporarily out the window when John F. Kennedy was murdered and those opposed to American idealism, within and without, seized and began to fill the vacuum created in our shocked nation.
I hold out little hope that leftist and liberal governments like that currently in power in the U.S., will do the right thing. Rather, they are joining the chorus of those chanting the Mubarak bad guy theme.
Lead by American media's creation of "pop thought", events will follow what they are telling the American people is happening. Those who see through it seem to be few and far between. Or maybe it's just their voices are not being heard....just like in today's Egypt and Iran.

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
A brotherhood. Sounds innocuous enough. Akin to the brothers of the Ancient Order of Hibernians whose motto is Friendship, Unity and True Christian Charity? I don't think so.
Egypt is in danger of becoming a 'democracy'.....something the White House and their admirers wish to see. One man - one vote. Even if they became a constitutional republic, like the United States, their Republic wouldn't last.
Does anybody really think a government run by the so-called Muslim Brotherhood would play fair for their own people, let alone other people? Aren't these the people who blow up and kill Christian Churches and Christians? Who blow up their own people? Aren't these the people who believe it's their way or no way?
The problem, as I see it, is their use of terrorism to seize and keep power. If they don't like you they kill you. How many dead bodies until good people are afraid to speak out? It's how they control populations. During World War II Russia's Joe Stalin and Germany's Adolf Hitler were masters at it....until matters got out of their control. The Muslims in control of Iran are masters at it, thanks to former President Jimmy Carter. When will matters there get out of control, just like matters now in Egypt.
With the Muslim Brotherhood in power, we can expect them to agitate politically throughout the Arab world. Remember, these are the guys who didn't know what oil was until we taught 'em. These are the guys who overcame Sicily and most of Spain. These are the guys who are visible through the U.S. at gas stations, carry out stores, small hotels/motels etc. Am I missing anything here?
I'd like to believe that the words Muslim Brotherhood really meant something. Oh, it sounds so nice, as if they were practicing Friendship, Unity and true Muslim Charity. I'd like to believe they are a positive influence for people everywhere. But I've witnessed nothing of the kind. And I don't believe I ever will.
I'm from Missouri - "show me"!
