Egypt, Do As We Say

I've been watching American experts on Egypt talk about the conflict there, and I have come to a conclusion: we have no experts on Egypt. Some of these experts tell us to support the military and the majority of Egyptians in a revolution against a religious dictatorship. The other American experts tell us we should support the Islamists because they won an election a year ago and they constitute at least part of the future of Egypt. My thought is that we should try butting out. American experts in how other cultures should conduct themselves ought to close their pie-holes. Just shut up. Shut up. I mean this in the best possible way.
