Tom Hayden On Egypt And Democracy

Over yonder at Counterpunch.  I have a huge problem with Political Islam in Egypt, the same way I have a huge problem with Political Christianity in the United States and in Russia and everywhere else and Politcal Judaism in Israel.  Unfortunately, it is going to be a long time until the US cuts out the cancer of fundamentalist Christian politicians and even longer until the "left" in America is able to honestly protest the evil of fundamentalist Islam and fundamentalist Judaism in the Middle East along with fundamentalist religious political movements of any and all stripes anywhere in the world.  Hayden's point about the establishment and support for democracy over military rule is the right one, though.  Egypt, Israel, and the rest of those people need a foundation of democracy to be able to survive the evils of a Morsi or a Netanyahu or a Bush or a Reagan.
