QOTD: "Hillary Clinton is welcoming the Muslim Brotherhood in discussions about a new Egyptian government. The Mubarak government is reaching out to it as well. I wonder what those who invoke the American Revolution and other disconnected historical events to justify their blind support for events in Egypt -- which they can neither accurately define or explain -- think about this. Actually, my guess is they're unmoved by this knowledge as they are motivated by doctrine and ideology, not reason and experience. They'll downplay it and the Muslim Brotherhood's effectiveness. But for the rest of us, it is important to pay attention to history, experience, and facts. To support these events as a democracy movement is to miscomprehend the words democracy and movement.

We all hope this turns out well. Who among us would not? And there's no doubt that democracy is preferred to tyranny and that an untold number of Egyptians seek democracy. But now is not the time to throw prudence and caution overboard but, rather, to embrace them more firmly. The tyranny of totalitarianism, of the sort that took power in Iran and Gaza during the last "democracy movements," demands it. While the situations are not identical, they're close enough. Moreover, it is hard to imagine the Obama administration competently handling this extremely difficult matter when it has demonstrated incompetence in matters of far less complexity and import. Indeed, the president's amateurism has already revealed itself in his public statements." --Mark Levin
