Obama Acted in Honduras, as He Does Now in Egypt

The only force capable of turning Egypt upside down is represented by the Muslim Brotherhood. Tactics by the Western media (who now claim to be victims of the “supporters” of a Mubarak whom they had elevated because he gave “stability” to the region across the coast from the Palestinians) intended to confuse, affirm that the Muslim Brotherhood is Mubarak’s accomplice and wouldn’t mind aligning itself with a regime that has massacred and exiled its supporters. All of this is done in order to create a climate of negative opinion against that group, knowing that its support has risen, on a global scale, while fighting for the Egyptian people.

But lo and behold, according to the Japanese TV channel NHK, the Muslim Brotherhood would accept forming a transition government along with other minority forces, and one of their decisions would be to annul the peace treaty signed with Israel. “After President Mubarak steps down and a provisional government is formed, there is a need to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel, ” said one organizational leader to NHK.

The organization understands that the agreement is harmful to the interests of Egypt and the Arab world. The U.S. candidate, Mohamed ElBaradei, cannot do it for obvious reasons. Also, he is the preferred candidate of the middle class, which has been nearly extinguished by capitalism, something that Egypt understands well. For that reason, Obama “demands,” on one hand, a “rapid” transition of power, and on the other, pressures the highest levels of the Egyptian military to maintain a passive stance — unusual and pathetic at the same time — that benefits the oppressors that continue to murder with impunity. This attitude serves to cool revolutionary fervor.

From my point of view, Obama is extending the conflict, even though he pretends to do the opposite. The president of the United States is very predictable. He acted (in a literal sense) in the same way in Honduras, where his strategy was successful: However, this is Egypt, and here there are more complex factors at hand. The question remains: How long will they continue in this position? And which side will the military side with?
