Daniel Larison replied to my suggestion that I, in fact, was the realistic one in our discussion of Egypt. You be the judge.

Regarding Michael's quote I have zero faith in those State Department officials in Cairo.

I though you were the idealistic one and Judith was the realist one. I think the claim that the uprising in Egypt confirms Bush 43's conviction that the people in the region possess an innate longing for liberal democracy is a dubious one. I don't think its categorically true, but even if it is, it can only be proven until we see the aftermath of the protest.
