The Iconoclast at New English Review says: Stop giving aid to Egypt, to Jordan, to Pakistan, to Afghanistan, to the "Palestinian" Authority. No American aid will win friends among Muslims for Infidels. But American aid, and European too, can increase hatred for the Americans and the Europeans, not among those who are most fervently Muslim, for they are already suffused with such hatred, they batten on it, but among the more advanced (a term of relative rather than absolute value when applied to primitive, semi-savage societies with a political class even more coarse and ignorant and clownish than that to be found in much -- though not all -- of the present-day West), and secular.

Obama can't do anything to stop this, but he can hope it works to his advantage.
Murray sez:
Anon, you mean exploit it like he does with every crisis? Naaaaw!
The way he toured the Muslim countries promoting himself when he first took office as the great mediator, now looks pretty silly. I think we're in trouble either way. We've supported Mubark as a friend and he's allowed little freedom. However, freedom means the rise of the Muslim brotherhood and the possibility of another Muslim fundamentalist government. That's not good for the U.S. or Egyptian women if Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan are any evidence.
