I heard Jimmy Carter talking about this in NPR yesterday, his voice is like warm peach cobbler.

Purple fingers and freedom

When they elect the Muslim brotherhood today we have to act cool with it right?

Attack on Israel commencing in 3...2...

jayg22: When they elect the Muslim brotherhood today we have to act cool with it right?

No, we don't. Just because we let people make decisions for themselves it doesn't mean we can't be upset or annoyed if they make the wrong one. And just because they made that decision democratically doesn't make it right or give it some aura of rightfulness. There is only right or wrong paths in the world, the one that leads towards a theocratic and barbarian totalitarian state is a wrong path, regardless of how they got there.

Of course Jimmy Carter will love this. He hopes Egypt turns militant and attacks Israel.

/Having an open anti-semite as ex-president is embarrassing.

Demand birth certificates.

Repeatedly

Cloying and annoyingly hard to deal with?

Better with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream?

Haven't been hearing as much crowing about handing this country to the Muslim Brotherhood as I used to.

too much "", not enough !!

I'm in Wisconsin, do you think he's available June 5th?

give me doughnuts: Attack on Israel commencing in 3...2...

It is the best way to unite those poor fools. 1973 all over again.

Riots and Beheadings in 3....2....1...

Democracy gives Israel the mads.

The Muslim Brotherhood made a serious mistake when they named themselves after the two things America hates most.

That's democracy: People digging their own graves.

People should only be allowed to vote if they elect those I approve of.

Ya'll dope is illegal and these threads may be monitored.

The real trick will be to get this first Egyptian democratic government to hold fair elections again in 2016 or whatever. Either way, I think that the Egyptian citizens will put enough sandals on Tahir square to keep the government from going full-retard.

jayg22: When they elect the Muslim brotherhood today we have to act cool with it right?

no. We bomb them. immediately.

Even while I worry that the army in Egypt is already too powerful, I find myself envious that there are four candidates on the ballot for president in Egypt.

jayg22: When they elect the Muslim brotherhood today we have to act cool with it right?

No way, democracy is only good if they pick who we want. Even better if we force it on people at the end of a gun and give cover to our preferred candidate.

imontheinternet: A military commander frontrunner in a military-controlled country? Shocking.

I predict he'll win with ~105% of the vote.

Why not 110%?

Sure would be. Good thing we don't.

Good luck to them hope their next election goes smooth and with no interference from whoever takes charge

Given the time difference, it should be over now. Who won?

cehlen: This will not end well.



Agrees.

You mean the Jimmy Carter who got Sadat to sign his own death warrant by making peace with Israel?

Yeah, real anti-Semite that one.

Democracy Theocracy for everyone!

"My opponent would have you believe I allow my harem girls time off that I do not allow for my other servants. This is not true. I have a program of garment and textile making with which they occupy their time when their lot is not drawn. Nefertiti, however, has castrated most of her harem. I'm Ramses II, and I approve this message."

RON PAUL!

Meh. It'll be meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Not much we can do, other than cut off aid. Once Mubarak fell, the Muslim Brotherhood was the only opposition group that had any semblance of organization.

The Arab Spring was nice in theory, but you can't have democracy without the bedrock of civil society. Mubarak destroyed civil society in Egypt, and the most organized groups were going to fill in the inevitable power vacuum.

It sucks, I really wanted to see the Valley of the Kings - now, I'm guessing in a few years the Saladis will take over and start torching museums and tearing down temples. The Egyptian Museum only narrowly survived before - if the Salafists take power who knows what will happen.
