the Bush Doctrine?

As for Egypt, I am thrilled that it's military maintained its dignity and allowed the people to continue their protests. Now the good news is that the military is organizing for democratic elections. But the trick will be to keep el Baradai out of the mix because he’s not a friend of the US and would likely bring the Muslim Bros into the process. If that happens the new govt will not be secular and that means sharia law and bye-bye democracy.

What the media is not reporting, and it's no surprise, is that Egypt is an example of a benefit coming from the overthrow of Saddam and the establishment of a democratic Iraq. But that would imply that something good came of the Bush Doctrine. The liberal media would rather swallow battery acid than give Bush credit for having done anything good. He was clumsy but his policy was smart. Now that Egypt has the possibility of becoming the second Arab Democracy look for other Arab dictatorships to fall. Miracles apparently can happen.
