Revolutions…

I would say that Victor Davis Hanson has forgotten more about classical history than most of us ever knew,  but he hasn’t forgotten any.   The Obama Administration  shows no signs of remembering any.

Nikolai Grozni  remembers other revolutions.   You expect lapdogs of His Oneness,  like Thomas Friedman,   to give Obama glory for his moves on Egypt,  even if “unintended”,  but would you expect to see   “Egypt’s Revolution,  Bush’s Victory?”  anywhere in the Gray  Lady’s pages?   This  is one  reason you do.   Newsweek was far less complimentary.

The Washington Post wrings its hands over how Mubarak’s departure  may imperil U.S.-Egyptian counter-terrorism work,  and sniffles about the  C.I.A.  and its difficulties in the Middle East.

James Lewis  is sour on the uprising in Egypt.    On the bright side,  the Egyptian military has  dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution,  thereby meeting two key demands of protesters.  It has also said it  will uphold the peace accord with Israel.

I would be nervous were I an  Iranian mullah.

And Mark Steyn  is right.
