WHAT TEDDY TAUGHT BARRY

Mubarak, Obama and the US-Cairo thaw (ZVI MAZEL , 8/30/09, Jerusalem Post)

Following his talks with Obama, Mubarak declared that his Cairo speech had removed all doubts concerning the new American policy towards the Muslim world, thus giving Obama Egypt's seal of approval and putting an end to the coolness between the two countries.

After all, in Cairo the American president had given low priority to human rights issues, and the message had been well received by Arab leaders and particularly by Mubarak.

After all, why should a modern liberal care about the freedom of 80 million Egyptians?
