On Friday, I read that Daily Beast article by Riedel on how we shouldn’t fear Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and thought, “My God, how gullible are these people?!” Well, it’s nice to have someone of such merit and clout on the subject as Andy McCarthy to back up your suspicions!

But perhaps more damaging for America on the world stage, thus presenting an opportunity for future blame, is how market manipulation here has factored into their dire equation…” like pouring inflationary lighter fluid on the world and then lighting a match.”

Many share in Daringminds’ accessment of these recent events: “The riots and revolutionary activity burning down Tunisia, Yemen, and Egypt are about gut-level economics.” This sadly may be the case more than the actual plight of ‘democracy’.
