Late Egyptian leader's views reflected the Muslim Brotherhood but not mainstream Islam. - Now that summer is officially upon us, we've been taking a look at the definitive summer songs of all time, based on their seasonal popularity on Billboard's Hot 100 charts. In this final installment, we count down the summer jams from 2000 to 2014.
-
- The U.S. will never persuade General el-Sissi to embrace democracy or end the endemic corruption that enriches Egyptian generals. But we can use the leverage our huge aid payments provide to protect some space for independent voices.
- Calls for American intervention in Iraq follow on a century of misreading the Middle East.
- As expected, former Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi won the latest Egyptian election for president by a landslide, giving the military establishment total control of all governmental instruments of power. He won 92 percent of the votes with 46 percent turnout. President-elect el-Sissi now has an historic chance to usher in a new democratic Egypt. Unfortunately, the last 10 months of his rule have indicated a far different future for his struggling country.
- The country is poised between continuing its transition to democracy or a reversion to authoritarian rule
- New leadership and constitution in Egypt are not necessarily bad signs
- As the world's most powerful democracy and a large aid donor, the United States was uniquely positioned to support the Egyptian people's quest for freedom and a better future. Instead, our response has been remarkably short-sighted and always a step behind.
- In the early days of the new year, it might be good to take a moment to recognize that however disappointing Obama's policies may be, it could have been a lot worse if any of Obama's key opponents — Republican or Democrat — were sitting in the White House today.
- A suspension of U.S. military aid may be too little, too late to force Egypt's generals to restore civilian rule
-
- America's continued support of Egypt's military is strategically and morally untenable after Wednesday's violence that left hundreds dead.
- Neglect of Middle East's other conflicts could greatly damage U.S. interests even if a peace deal is achieved
- Two weeks after deposing the country's first democratically elected president, Egypt's generals still haven't offered a timetable for restoring civilian rule
- With the generals back in charge, Egypt's transition to democracy just got a lot harder
-
- The State Department damaged American interests with its reflexive support for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.
- The country's fledgling democracy is imperiled anew by the generals now calling the shots
- With mass protests in the streets against President Morsi, time is running out for a political solution to the crisis
-
- Political violence on Friday killed three people, including an American student, and mass rallies are planned for Sunday aimed at unseating Islamist President Mohamed Mursi.
- Joel Brinkley writes that President Morsi is fiddling while his nation's economy burns.
- Recent money pledged to Egypt should go to America instead.
- What would Mike Wallace say about the Obama/Clinton lovefest?
