But don't be alarmed, folks.
Even though Obama is high-fiving the radical Muslims who were just awarded the Egypt election, it is not what it seems.
Yesterday middle-east seer and all-round wise-guy on all matters Muslim, Robert Fisk, predicted a Shafiq win in the "election".
But a few weeks ago he was waxing wise on the connections that senior MB people have forged with the Egyptian military.
I believe that Fisk knows whereof he speaks, even though he sometimes doesn't tell everything he knows.
The MB "won" this election because the military allowed it.
The military allowed it because Field Marshal Tantawi, the guy behind the curtain, gets his marching orders from Washington.
Yes of course they will honor the agreements with Israel, because that's part of the bargain.
You'll notice that the secular well-educated fringe who started the Tahrir uprising is pretty much out of sight today.
You are witnessing history in the making; democracy in action.
It's not pretty.
