They Got It Way Wrong

From Obama to the “far right,” they got it wrong on Egypt. “I have in mind the latest blunder by the experts — their assessment, just a few months ago, of the nature of the Arab Spring and its democracy movement. Back in spring, the leading experts — from the Obama administration to the neoconservatives on the right to the major liberal media to most of the academic area specialists — were all overwhelmingly predicting that all those great secular, liberal, college-educated kids with their iPhones in Tahrir Square represented the new Egypt and would bring all their wonderful values to the revolution.” So now we have a military government that won’t go away and a recent announcement that “Sharia law” would be the base of their laws in the future. How wrong were they? As wrong as they can be. Which is an example of how incompetent our current “leaders” are. What amazes me is that people in the Middle East actually voted their rights away.
