Egypt Rioting In Streets

Egypt is on the brink of becoming Barack Obama’s Jimmy Carter moment.  Like Carter,  Obama is clueless on foreign affairs.  The decisions Obama and his administration make on Egypt will not only have major impacts on the Middle East, but on America and the world.

The long reign of Hosni Mubarak seems to be in its final decline and the next few weeks will probably determine to a great extent the security picture of the Middle East for a generation.   There rioting in Cairo and other Egyptian cities with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets in revolt.

While the removal of a dictator should be highly praised, do so with the realization that the odds of the Obama administration producing an outcome superior to that produced by Jimmy Carter in Iran approaches zero.

The Carter Administration believed for reasons that have never been made clear that it could manage the accession of Ayatollah Khomeini to power, so too the Obama Administration seems to think it has found a working partner in the Muslim Brotherhood.  Why the Administration believes cavorting with an organization that is both violent and Islamic makes sense is as unclear as Carter’s belief in Khomeini.

The administration clearly feels that it is in sync with the Muslim Brotherhood.  Early in the Administration the man chosen for “Muslim outreach” was heavily involved with the Muslim Brotherhood. And Egyptian media has reported that Obama has recently met with Muslim Brotherhood representatives:

U.S. President Barack Obama met with members of Egypt’s Islamist opposition movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, earlier this year, according to a report in Thursday editions of the Egyptian daily newspaper Almasry Alyoum.  The newspaper reported that Obama met the group’s members, who reside in the U.S. and Europe, in Washington two months ago.

This gives the impression that the Administration feels as though the Muslim Brotherhood represents the forces of democratic change in Egypt and it is throwing its weight behind the Islamic movement while simultaneously trying to guarantee a soft landing for President Mubarak.

The Muslim Brotherhood is closely aligned with Hamas, another terrorist front organization, and its governing philosophy is anti-Semitic and anti-democratic to its very core.

 America cannot afford another Jimmy Carter moment in the Middle East.  The Suez Canal and the oil and other supplies going through the canal are too vital to America and the world to chance.  Any interruptions in the Suez Canal would have devastating effects on the economies of the world.
