I don't know how much of an influence the Muslim Brotherhood would have in a post Mubarak Egypt, but since they are in parliament now, I imagine they will have some influence.No I didn't give Sam the link to that website. He's hardly on the board much anymore anyway, so why worry about him?
Hey...don't jump on moi! You're the one who said:

I figured you were lockstep in with the pubs and Bolton on this one...
As far as the Muslim Brotherhood: It's called representative democracy, ya know...Kinda like what we have? Just think of the Muslim Brotherhood (who are a. working hard to maintain civility in Egypt right now, and b. have publicly stated they DO NOT want to get involved other than that) as the Egyptian Tea Party. Gotta give the extreme kooks a voice, ya know...

Unlike Egypt, there was virtually no chance any government replacing the current Iranian one would be worse for us than the one we have now.
See? There ya go again! Why are you so down on the Egyptian people? I don't see them chanting anti-American slogans in the streets. Do you think they're going to allow a crazy fundamentalist Islamist government? One who won't let them have their cell phones and internet?

I love it!
