Didnt say we should have stepped in or attempted to control their fate (though we did that in Libya...and then oddly NOT in Syria...curious that). Do you know what Obamas position is on Egypt? Now? then? for a while it was trumpeted as a great success...these uprisings and democracy. Now...silence...huh...why is that? Perhaps because people are getting killed there now, people are still dying by the hundreds in those other countries, etc. And again...where is the LEADERSHIP?
what you are proposing is that its OK to just not have a foreign policy...which is fine...that makes you a Ron Paul supporter. The difference between Ron Paul and Obama is that Paul makes no bones about not engaging the world in foreign policy.
Have you never heard of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight David Eisenhower, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Richard Milhouse Nixon, James Earl Carter, Ronald Wilson Reagan, or William Jefferson Clinton?
Well, I never said Obama was a brilliant leader, but regardless my point remains that what happened in Egypt doesn't really reflect on his own performance. Outside of some sort of military action, the only "leadership" the President could actually show was to perhaps make endless speeches - something his opponents have consistently criticized him for anyway.
I'm not actually proposing that, i'm not actually proposing anything, really. I'm only saying that Egypt had little to nothing to do with the President's "foreign policy performance."
Yes, no, yes, yes, no, no, no, yes. In that order. who the **** says Richard Milhouse Nixon?
Bart Simpson...Yes, no, yes, yes, no, no, no, yes. In that order. who the **** says Richard Milhouse Nixon?
OK...I have noted your exception and provisionally changed the grade to a c-...no affect on overall grade. We agree to disagree.
Ohhh yes it is. America can go on the public stage and says it supports democracy around the world and peace and freedom but then we support regimes like this.. Ohhh how wonderful. MAybe that is why a good part of the world hates us.yep...its a hard ugly world out there and sometimes you have to decide who you are going to get in bed with.
Naa it shouldnt be a bitch. How about we just mind are own ****ing business?that reality thing is a bitch, isnt it.
The Muslim Brotherhood wants to do that?How much more wonderful a world will it be when the Muslim Brotherhood seizes control, imposes sharia, reengages the persecution of women, kills gays, and allows terrorist actions against Israel? Sometimes you dont have a GREAT choice...you have to make the only wise and AVAILABLE choice.
Right except if they are good ol Christians right?Ideologues have no business in leadership positions. They ARE however comfortable and perfectly safe living in moms basement and letting the grown-ups take care of the hard work.
Ideologues...regardless of their religious bent or otherwise (idiotic of you to go there...but not shocking) have no business in leadership positions. And by all means...mind your own business...support Ron Paul...he's your guy.Ohhh yes it is.

The Muslim Brotherhood wants to do that?
The Freedom and Justice Party wants to do that?

His based would have admired him more had he stayed out of Egypt and Libya.Frankly, I don't see how what happened in Egypt really relates to Obama's performance.

For my leftwing friends.
I believe that what happened in Egypt was largely out of our control and didn't have a lot to do with American action. The Administration simply saw that the future of Egypt wasn't on Mubarak's side and decided to back the winning horse. This has little to do with actual policy or action, because don't we always say that speeches aren't policy?
"God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations."Ok... Well if the Muslim Brotherhood would stand with these ideas your listed off that would be one thing. But you to tell who can be the leaders of the country all the around the world is not supporting "freedom or democracy" its not your country of the USA's country. Its Egypt's county. The USA is not some police man of the world.
And this is not about who i "support".
Actually that isn't true because during the Egyptian revolution, the US was supporting both sides. Many Egyptian civil society groups had links to the US State Department (Freedom House: Egyptian Activists Stress Democracy, Human Rights in Talks with U.S. Secretary of State).
"God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations."
We gave both sides MATERIAL support? Way to take a side yo.
interesting that you embrace religious theology. We'll certainly see where this takes us...hey...You should GO there!!! Help out! They would LOVE you!!!"We believe that the political reform is the true and natural gateway for all other kinds of reform. We have announced our acceptance of democracy that acknowledges political pluralism, the peaceful rotation of power and the fact that the nation is the source of all powers. As we see it, political reform includes the termination of the state of emergency, restoring public freedoms, including the right to establish political parties, whatever their tendencies may be, and the freedom of the press, freedom of criticism and thought, freedom of peaceful demonstrations, freedom of assembly, etc. It also includes the dismantling of all exceptional courts and the annulment of all exceptional laws, establishing the independence of the judiciary, enabling the judiciary to fully and truly supervise general elections so as to ensure that they authentically express people's will, removing all obstacles that restrict the functioning of civil society organizations, etc."
