I am writing about this because I think that it matters. There has been a whole-hog glorification of impending democracy in the Middle East and it is being done by the press; and it is palpably false, it is borderline disinformation. When Mubarak left office in Egypt, it was hooray this and hooray that, the bad man is gone. And now, he is being investigated for human rights abuses. I am sure that there were many of them under his authority, yet there must need-be some context here.
For instance: a secret-police organization arrests someone without a warrant and then they torture the arrestee. That is what occurred in Egypt under Mubarak (it happened under Sadat as well and for good reason too). Most Americans would recoil at that and demand that it be stopped. (I am one of those Americans, as I do not want such a thing to happen to me.) Admittedly, that is bad; but there is much worse in this World.
Something worse is the Muslim Brotherhood, which seems to have won powers in Egypt as a result of the protests. I will not bore you to tears here, I will simply say that there is no more sinister people on Earth than they are. Killers and cut-throats, they are the really bad actors in the Middle East. When you hear about Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLO, et.al, they are all off-shoots of The Brotherhood, it is just that simple.
The organization did not appear as of yesterday and spring a surprise on everyone, it has a charter. Here is a section of the Charter Of Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood:
Article Two: The Link between Hamas and the Association of Muslim Brothers.
The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of the Muslim Brothers in Palestine. The Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a world organization, the largest Islamic Movement in the modern era. It is characterized by a profound understanding, by precise notions and by a complete comprehensiveness of all concepts of Islam in all domains of life: views and beliefs, politics and economics, education and society, jurisprudence and rule, indoctrination and teaching, the arts and publications, the hidden and the evident, and all the other domains of life.
My, now there you have something that is not broadcast on the 6:30 news. Why is that anyway? Why does the TV news never, ever discuss the Charter Of Hamas? Why does President Obama saunter up to a microphone and like a fool, tell Netanyahu to clear out of the "conquered territories". Because, President Obama and the left wing as a unit, never give credence to what has been written by the Arabs about Israel. It is a death-wish for the Jews and it has been written down, broadcast,and preached in every mosque in the world.
If it seems that I have just drawn an analogy between Islam and the mindset and sloganeering of "Death For The Jews!", it is because I have. That is the full intent of Islam, whether it is called moderate or radical. The end result is the same, Israel gets pushed into the Mediterranean and all the Jews die.
When this series of revolution is finished, the Middle East will have gone from the fat into the fire. It is patently obvious that President Obama is out of his league and does not know what to say or do. So he attacks PM Netanyahu of all people, he might as well have punched a hornets nest. The man that he attacked is an ex-commando, the real McCoy, just like the SEAL/Delta teams that killed bin-Laden, just like them.
(Netanyahu was a member of Sayeret Matkal under Ehud Barak--Ehud was another PM by the way. Do a comparison between them and President Obama if you will. The President comes up wanting in all regards.)
What do I see coming in the Middle East? I see the Muslim Brotherhood taking a role that is really alarming to me. I greatly admire Netanyahu and Israel in general, I am just like them. The danger that they are about to encounter is going greatly increase, in my view. This is not the ascendancy of a new dawn folks, this is a sunset. Egypt will become like Iran, mark my words. It may not be next year or the year after that, but it will happen. Pray for the peace of Israel, is my only foil to that.
The Arab Spring will be looked at as when the tyrants of X were replaced by the tyrants of Y. And Y is worse and this won't be fun when it comes to fruition. Forgive my abundant parentheticals, but they were necessary to elucidate some important areas. While Khadaffi is evil and I revile him, there are worse out there. While Assad is bad, there are much worse out there. In a lot of ways, this is a comparison between the devil that you know and the devil that you don't. This is portentous and filled with slippery slopes. Stupid stuff said by dim-wits doesn't change that either.
Below is a bio of Benjamin Netanyahu, the antithesis of the Arab Spring and President Obama. I will cover this as a subject in the future. I will compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
