    I see no particular problem with the MB, or any other party, being democratically elected in Egypt- as long as it is made clear that does not give the winning party carte blanche to mess with the national Constitution. The winning party in a democracy is there to govern and administer the nation, not change the national charter at whim. It reports to and is accountable to the Constitution, not vice versa. That is where the MB stuffed up, and is also why I did not condemn the coup (for a coup it was)- they overstepped their mandate.

    Your first question has already been answered, by the America-hating, white-hating, Jew-hating Muslim Socialist himself, who also happens to be President of the USA.

    Hamas is a terrorist outfit committed to the destruction of a UN member state. It is a proscribed group by the US and the EU; but not Britain, whose leaders are bored, lazy, naive, easily intimidated, compliant and compromised.

    Hamas is also the Palestinian arm of the MB. Here's a difficult one for you: 2 + 2 = ?

    Alliances bend and sway and change, esp those dealing with Arab/Muslims. That's the way it is and has always been so get used to it because bleating won't bring about any u-turns on that one.

    Both.

    See Q/A 1.

    The MB was a banned organisation throughout much of the Arab/Muslim world, yet the Son of Satan gave it legitimacy in his 'keynote' speech and has sided with it ever since. He has committed his Office and through it American aid, assistance and resources to side with the MB.

    Clue:

    "Allah is our objective; the Koran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations" - credo of the Muslim Brotherhood

    Also consider, having committed those resources to converting secular states to Islamism in his given time, it's been clearly and forcefully demonstrated that he chose the wrong side in Egypt and his ego has been bruised, which makes him ideologically unpredictable and even more dangerous than he was before the recent events in Egypt.

    Easier to pay others to die and do the killing.

    Can't do that. It would be seen as an admission that he is either a clueless control freak or a devious mofo whose actions were deliberate and designed to do maximum injury to the society that allowed a community organiser to become POTUS on the strength of his colour.

    So we know he cannot stay on the sidelines without conceding one or the other.

    Don't we?

    Ah yes, everything in your world leads to the singularity that all fair minded people should fear the right wing fanatics that support the only democracy in the region.

    That about sums you up.

    Of course US agencies are involved in Egypt, as they were throughout the so-called Arab Spring across North Africa that replaced secular dictators with Islamist dictators.

    You are also right that the US give Egypt billions in aid, which they were giving for decades though it was increased as part of the fraud that occurred in the Rose Garden. It is Jizya disguised as aid, and until Obama slithered into the WH the US did not expect much more in return from the Egyptian military than a pretence at peace.

    Turkey? Lebanon? I got no real problem with them.

    I got a real problem though working out what Americas foreign policy is in the region, what it stands for, who it's allies and who it's enemies are.
    Are you gonna expect my aussie servicemen ex-colleagues to fight side by side with Al Qaeda next time around? Knowing them, they prolly will too.

    Does "most of the world" refer to the civilised world? I'm not much concerned with what your buddies in the OIC believe, want, or think.

    Civilised???? You are fucking kidding...ha ha ha ha funniest thing I have heard for ages that..the majority of the entire world does not think Hamas is a terrorist organisation..the people who do, seem to be friends of Israel and America as usual and no one with a brain cell takes them seriously anyway.

    If the U.S. agencies were in any way involved I would be very surprised.
    Why would they destabilize a friendly government without being sure who will fill the void.
    The elected president was obviously a manchurian candidate, as he immediately on taking power began instituting policies contrary to his stated policies, and instituting Islamic law,
    You answered your own question. It wasn't a "friendly" government in the eyes of Washington. The military however are long standing allies thanks to all that dosh the US gives them. Morsi was quickly consolidating power and that threatened to unravel the alliance between the two countries. He had to go. That's why Obama won't denounce the coup and won't even end military (bribes) aid to Egypt
    My mind is not for rent to any God or Government, There's no hope for your discontent - the changes are permanent!

    As for Mubarak he was always a puppet of the military in any event. The military have always run Egypt. They removed him to try to appease the millions in the streets. Only worked for a little while

    He has to go because he was on the road to instituting a full on Islamic state.

    Any government that allows the rich who call the shots in the west to exploit the resources and labour of a Muslim country will do. An Islamic regime is preferable, less likely to nationalize resources and industries than a dictator, less likely to develope traits of socialism. The economy as prescribed by the Koran and by the right-wing happens to be the same, and who lives in spiritual lalaland, is not a trooper in class warfare. If Brotherhood and military tear the country apart, the better. The survivors will work for a $ per day and accept more foreign 'aid'.

    If Mubarak was a "puppet" he was an extremely rich one , with a personal fortune estimated by many good judges at 70 billion dollars , this IMHO had a huge hand in his eventual Political demise .

    As far as I am aware Hamas is deemed a terrorist organisation by The EU , America, Canada , Australia, New Zealand , Japan and of course Israel,,as far as the Israelis stealing Hamas land , there are has been no Israeli settlements or IDF troops in Gaza since 2005 when the Israeli's left , and before the 6 day war Gaza was annexed by Egypt ,and the West Bank by Jordan ,and I just wonder as to just how many occupants of Gaza have been murdered by the Israeli's in the last 12 months or so ?
