So much for any good thoughts you might have had about the Egyptian revolution – from ynet:
Former International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei, who had previously announced his intetions to run for the presidency of Egypt, said Monday that “if Israel attacked Gaza we would declare war against the Zionist regime.”…
And, liberals, this was the man you loved back in the day – it was El Baradei who put out the lies which you believed about Iran’s nuclear program. He suckered you, entirely. All along, he was just an enemy playing a political game…doing what he could to help the Islamists and weaken the United States.
More importantly, he is the man who stands a good chance of becoming Egypt’s next President – and he is choosing to burnish his image with Egyptian voters by thumping his chest over the Islamist bogeyman, Israel. Do understand that when he says “Zioniist regime” he is falling completely in to Islamo-fascism…that is how they term Israel; using the term as a means of entirely de-legitimizing Israel’s right to exist.
This is the very swift end of a dream. Any theories which had that Egypt would emerge as a democracy and as a civilizing influence are dashed. Egypt will go through a period of Islamo-fascism…how long remains to be seen. The bad news is that Iran proves it can go on for 32 years…
