<p>Despite the fact that he is a member of the radical terrorist Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s new president Mohammed Morsi has been invited to Washington by President Obama. Mr. Obama was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Morsi on his electoral victory, and has pledged that US support for Egypt will continue under the new government. This invitation comes following a visit from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Egypt last week.  <br /> <br />I am not surprised by the course events are taking. In fact five years ago I laid out the path the so-called “Arab spring” would follow. It’s the same pattern that we saw in Iran in 1979. There is first a revolution as people seek freedom and a greater voice in the government…and then a hardline Islamic regime takes power and crushes everyone who stands in their path.</p>
<p>I remember well talking to the widow of the Shah of Iran. The grief that remained in her heart over the way her husband was betrayed and abandoned by the West, especially President Jimmy Carter, was still fresh. I have seen America betray our friends for the sake of appeasing our enemies before, and this story does NOT end well. It was interesting to me that even as Secretary of State Clinton was in Egypt to offer billions in American tax dollars to a government now headed by a radical member of a terrorist organization, her motorcade was pelted by shoes (a sign of intense disrespect in the Arab world) as she drove through Alexandria. We will not make these evil terrorists our friends by appeasing them. They still want to see Israel and America destroyed. </p>
