The anti-Mubarak revolution won’t only topple an authoritarian regime. It will also topple 40-plus years of wrong-headed thinking about the causes of Middle East instability among the world’s foreign-policy cognoscenti.

In that view, the horrible...

Mohamed ElBaredei Steps Out Of His Sheep’s Clothing

Comments

Posted by    Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 12:50pm

Mohamed ElBaradei is one of those figures who, because he is fairly westernized, easily manipulates western media and left-of-center bloggers and pundits into thinking he wants a western-style democracy in Egypt.

Egyptian Upheaval Shows Why Territory Still Matters for Israel

Posted by    Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 7:47am

The upheaval in Egypt demonstrates the folly of those who claim to support Israel yet who seek to compel Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders without adjustment.

The pre-1967 borders are what amounts to the completely arbitrary armistice lines drawn at the end of fighting when Arab armies tried to destroy the...

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain:

The answer to the headline question is … Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran.

(K. McCaffrey) — In Egypt, the internet has effectively been shut off. One of my favorite websites, www.accessnow.org/, which looks to preserve freedom by upholding internet access, is working hard on cracking this.

Now if only we could win the war on liberal bumper stickers.

As of this writing, it remains unclear whether Mubarek will hold onto power in Egypt.  As I pointed out before, the implications for peace in the region are enormous, as an undermining of the 1979 peace treaty with Israel could spark regional war.
