Praktike thinks the recent actions of the Egyptian opposition (in response to the war in Lebanon and Israel) show it can't be trusted with power.
That's something you'd think the White House would have considered before they wedded themselves to the promotion of democracy in the Middle East - I mean the fact that elections in many of these countries would produce regimes much more hostile to Israel than the current regimes. But since it's been depressingly obvious that this White House rarely thinks more than 5 minutes ahead, I guess it's not too shocking that they wouldn't stop to think about who their dear elections might actually put in power.
