Obama issued a responsible statement on Egypt. Except, he kind of lit a match by pledging support for the effort to democratize, and for people’s right to assemble and protest. If we’re going to get on the right side of history tomorrow, that’s great. But I had to laugh when he said America will always stand for human rights. What about the last thirty years in Egypt?
More importantly, what replaces Mubarak and how does that impact the peace treaty with Israel and our bilateral relations with Cairo?
Interesting times.
