With the Egyptian vote.
This guy really needs a nursing home. It is truly hard to believe this.
How can you possibly be pleased with a vote that brings Islamic fundamentalism to power?
Would he have been pleased by the democratic process that brought Hitler to power?
I’m struggling to find words here. How do you express the absolute depth of this person’s complete and utter idiocy?
Tell you what. Why don’t read the article, while I go off into a corner and try to recover my equilibrium.
Really, I’m speechless.

If (like me) you always wondered when it would happen, or even if… well, you may be able to stop wondering because it appears that war is inevitable unless something drastic happens. And this time, the Egyptian army will be armed with the latest weapon systems from the US, including the M-1 Abrams – a tank that has never been destroyed in battle.
And to think that it was our own Jimmy Carter that set us up for this debacle.
However, I suspect that civil war will happen before war with Israel.
We’ll see.

What an amazing moment in time. Two thirds of Egypt has voted to become Islamist. And with this hefty majority, the newly Islamic Egyptian parliament will be able to draft its new constitution without consulting anyone else in Egypt. Anyone wanna’ bet what kind of constitution that will be?
Think also about what is about to happen to the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
And, what about the Christian minorities in Egypt?
They’ve already suffered greatly at the hands of the government and army. Do you think that their situation will improve?
I don’t think so, either.

I don’t know Maikel Nabil Sanad that well, but any Egyptian who supports Israel, has Hebrew on his webpage, and likes animals…
Well, he’s got my attention.
Yes, I know. He’s got a picture of himself giving ‘the finger’. And, there’s an ad for Adult FriendFinder. And… some of his writing will never be confused with anything Christian. (You weren’t expecting a Baptist, right?) So, you might have to hold your nose a bit to support him.
The problem is that the guy is going to die at the hands of the current Egyptian regime, unless something isn’t done soon.

If you get real quiet, and listen closely, you can hear it… tick, tick, tick, tick…
In July, I wrote the following in my article, An Egyptian Napoleon:
Revolutions are chancy things. You never quite know what you’re going to get when you start one.
We think of the American Revolution as having had only one possible outcome, but that is just not so. For instance, did you know that we came perilously close to a monarchy? That’s right, many of the founding fathers wanted George Washington to become a king. And, it was his for the taking, except for the fact that he abhorred the idea.
