The tsunami of anti-American rhetoric swamping Egypt has been justified as a legitimate response to Washington’s supposed support for the now-deposed Muslim Brotherhood government. There is no doubt that many Egyptians on both sides are indeed enraged with U.S. policy toward Egypt.

Just goes to show that the primary reason for any famine is government interference with the free market. I’m curious how long it will take before the MSM also start reporting the truth about Obozo; something already being widely disseminated in the Egyptian media.
Also, if you’re using Noscript – and really, why wouldn’t you be? – you can read the article without the need to sign up.
Over at Foggy Bottom: “Gee… if we support democracy in Egypt, we might end up with an unfriendly Islamist government… but if we support a military coup the Egyptians will despise us for it… golly, this diplomacy stuff sure is hard.”
Look, if someone–say, “Barry S.“–is incapable of having a rational, internally consistent thought, why would you expect “Barry S.” to be able to coherently explain him/herself to another.
