More usually like the French revolution than the American one.

The end of Quaddaffi couldn’t happen to a nicer islamist dictator.

The primary difference between the American and the French revolutions was that the former based its claims on faith in the One Who made us. The latter did not.

Arab military regimes have always given lip service to Islamic clerics, but they tend to ignore them in practice; this is a hope.

We're not going to get a Jeffersonian democracy out of the Middle East, but we can avoid the Moslem Brotherhood's grasp on power.

i do believe that the muslim brotherhood is not on the side of the protestors, but will have to muscle in to take it away from these people who, i believe, want what is promised in iraq.... freedom to choose... if it disintegrates into a caliphate, then all hell will break loose...

this administration should demand a constitutional move to protect individual human rights immediately... but i doubt they will.
