(10,718 posts)I hope the guys over in Egypt take a good look at what they are talking about. I don't care much for either side in the ME conflicts, but I don't see a situation where Egypt comes out ahead by war, or threat of war, or even the rumor of war.

(24,853 posts)The Muslim Brotherhood calls for the "liberation" of Jerusalem and the WORST you can imagine is "I told you so's" from the right wing? The WORST you can see?
You're more worried about the right wing being saying I told you so than all-out WAR in the middle east?
Fuck me sometimes I think I've seen it all... but then someone comes along and states "the worst part" is someone saying I told you so rather than the WORST PART being all-war to "liberate" a city solidly within a country's boundary.
