In the midst of our country’s constitutional massacre, and as we embrace a “September 1981”-style crackdown on dissent, Condi has arrived in Egypt to meet Arab Foreign Ministers and Mubarak–part of her plan to “rally Arab moderate states for regional peace,” as Western news reports say.
Moderates?! Regimes with security services that sodomize detainees, lock up secularists for their beliefs, imprison liberals on fabricated charges, brutalize leftists in street demos, try Islamists in martial courts, turn their countries into constitutional Gestapo states–and Condi still regards them as moderates?
