The right wingers on Egypt....and other things..
Edited on Thu Feb-03-11 09:45 PM by EJSTES2005
they were for democracy before they were against it.....

"One reason for the unusual inability of conservatives—and even neoconservatives—to settle on a “line” and stick to it as they’ve done so effectively in previous efforts to attack and demonize the president is that their own position on democracy is a complete contradiction. They frequently profess to support “democracy” in the abstract and frequently blame its absence in the Arab world for the attractions of violent Islamic extremism and other cultural ills in the Middle East. But they neglect to note the fact that it is the very lack of democracy in these nations that prevents them from adopting far more extreme anti-Western and particularly anti-Israel positions."

Almost exactly what I posted <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x327133">yesterday...they love to bring democracy to others as long as we get to pick who runs said democracy and we do it with massive fire power....
