The United States is once more caught at the crossroads. Loyalty to an ally in the Middle East
who is a dictator (e.g. Mubarak) is dicey. We've seen this situation before. But not with the
texting, tweeting, and cell phone cameras out in full force.
Israel fears that if Mubarak exits immediately, the political vacuum will be filled with anti Israeli forces. So do we.
But peaceful transition may no longer be an option.
What is the lesson? Be careful whom you support and pick as an ally. Does Hamid Karzai
not remind us of Mubarak? These murky men are thorns in the side of the U.S. We need to stop
supporting corrupt politicians in the Middle East.
