We never had Egypt to lose

Reader comment on item: Understanding Islam
in response to reader comment: Those days are gone

The fundamental problem with free will is you never know what people are going to do with it. Egyptians, and Muslims generally, need to figure out how they are going to rule themselves. It is nostalgia of the worst variety to believe America is better off with corrupt dictators ruling Muslim countries. If Muslims want Islamic law for themselves, it really is no concern of ours, (until Muslims attempt to impose themselves on us through force).
