Mrs. Bush in Egypt: A foreign policy disaster by Andy Martin

Pretending Mubarek is a democrat will not make him one. When Mrs. Bush endorses democracy Mubarek-style, she insults the Egyptian people. Mrs. Bush insults the hopes of her own husband, who probably genuinely believes in democracy but has not a clue how to obtain it. Mrs. Bush makes a mockery of President Bush's claims that America is genuinely committed to genuine democracy. But maybe she is just telling the truth. Are they that cynical in the White House? Cynical or stupid, take your choice.
