re: #313 iossarian
Buck - you appear to just have said that “the only stumbling block between Egyptians and freedom is Israel” (that is a direct quote of your own words from your post).
Oh, shit, I’ve done it too. FFFUUU
The main stumbling block is Israel. In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks.
Seems very clear to me.
