Telegraph: Reports that the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the UK Foreign Secretary William Hague have called for a peaceful transition to democracy in Egypt. The Obama Oval and the 10 Downing Street have to careful that they don’t breath new life in to the protests, there has never been a democracy in Egypt, a secular liberal Egypt might be wanted by the West but Democracy has a nasty habit of electing people that is a major threat to Western interests, Hitler in Germany, Hamas in Gaza, in other words its not the revolution that is the problem is what comes afterwards, Iran in 1979 was a secular revolution that become a religious revolution, in 1917 Russia you have the 1st revolution that produced a government for Russia that was acceptable to the Liberal West but this was overthrown by the Communists in October 1917. Thus its not the initial revolution that should be the worry it what comes afterwards, does the Obama Administration want to face an extreme Islamic Government in Cairo that revokes the peace agreement with Israel. There is wise remark, don’t nosey in the internal affairs of other countries, it might get chopped off. Give the crisis in Egypt a few days, the West should not be pushed in to action by the 24 hour news cycle, lets see what the Army and police do, if they make a mess of it then have a plan to move to democracy and then pray it works.
