Finally the septics have woken up to the fact that installing cronies all over the world leads to far greater trouble than they were trying to prevent in the first place. See Iraq.

Well done Mr Obama.

No, the US has had their preferred candidate in place the the last 30 years, Mr. Mubarak. It's now a bit awkward for them to come out and criticise him openly.

Had all this kicked off 20 years ago there'd have been a brief round of shuttle diplomacy and we'd have had our placeman (Mr El Baradei) firmly ensconced in the presidential palace before you could say the Muslim brotherhood.
