The US and the dodgy doctor

Some of the architects of the Iraq war have got cold feet about democracy in Egypt in case Egyptian freedom helps the "Islamist" Muslim Brotherhood.

Men behind the Iraq war like Tony Blair, John Bolton and Richard Perle claimed to be bombing Iraq into freedom and democracy.

Now the neocon trio are warning that the West should stick with dictator Hosni Mubarak lest Egyptian democracy let in the Islamists.

In Egypt they prefer the dictator to the Islamists. But weirdly in Iraq they preferred the Islamist parties to the dictator.

They forced out Saddam Hussein by war on Iraq then ushered two parties into government - the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq and al-Da'Wa (the Islamic Call).
