Michael Doran: a Bush era official

I don't recommend that you read this long article as I have: there is not anything new in it whatsoever, except the typical Zionist panic that we are accustomed to these days. Oh, the author underlines his credentials by using an Arabic word in the article (tawrit): oh, yeah.  A sign of his deep knowledge of the region.  This passage sums up his Zionist panic:  "Faced with the accountability of the democratic process, Egypt's new rulers will not feel nearly as free as Mubarak did to side with Washington and Jerusalem when the next round of conflicts involving Israel erupts. In the post-Mubarak era, the resistance bloc has a new weapon: the Egyptian crowd, which is now freer than before to organize on its own. Renewed violence will undoubtedly spark massive street demonstrations, not only in Egypt but also in Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. But it is in Egypt where the bloc will concentrate its energies, providing the Muslim Brotherhood and similar groups with a pretext for organizing the mob and casting themselves as the conscience of the Egyptian people. They will demand that the military sever all ties with Israel and the United States -- and it is far from certain whether Egypt's insecure army officers will have the mettle to withstand the campaign."  His analogy of Nasser and Iran is so inaccurate and over-used.
