Mubarak Is Out in September, If Not Sooner

HOSNI MUBARAK HAS JUST ANNOUNCED HE WILL NOT SEEK ANOTHER TERM AS PRESIDENT OF EGYPT in the September elections. For those who have more faith in democracy than common sense, including the Obama administration, which reportedly told Mubarak to go, this may be good news, but it’s great news for the Muslim Brotherhood and their even more radical buddies. Their philosophy regarding the democratic process is nothing but practical: “one man, one vote, one time.” And no majority is needed; a plurality or even a close second will do. Intimidation and outright violence will take care of the rest, and once they have power in their hands, they will never yield to anyone who is less fanatical than they are, because it would be quite un-Islamic to turn over the rule of a country to “infidels” and “apostates”.
