"Thanks to Blair and Bush the Muslim Brotherhood are now the strongest opposition Party in Egypt."

I would view that as being rather a positive thing ard. What were the Muslim Brotherhood before? Apart from a disgruntled bunch of fanatics who went round indiscriminately murdering and maiming people in attacks using bombs and AK-47's - sound familiar ard? Hate to point this out but they already were the strongest opposition group in Egypt going back to the time of the Sadat accord with Israel (nothing to do with Iraq). The US has pressed for greater democratisation in the middle-east, so now instead of being an outlawed group of terorists, they now have a legal political forum to present their case to the electorate, i.e. they have been drawn into the process - hey ard that sounds a bit familiar too?

Are you saying that that is a mistake, that these people cannot be trusted? Oddly enough ard there's a few wondering about just exactly that somewhere else.

I actually believe that the people of Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Palestine and the Lebanon have benefitted - not just the fundamentalists.
