Thank Allah for the Egyptian Military

Ahem: I need to explain to you about the Egyptian military. They have always been a major political force in Egypt. No, this is a good thing. They are the moderating force that keeps Egyptian politics from veering too far from orthodoxy. Thus it is this week.

See, they dissolved parliament yesterday, on the grounds that some of the members thereof were not elected legitimately. For us in the West, this is fortunate since many are members in the Muslim Brotherhood, a think tank that gave birth to both Hamas and Hezbollah. When Mubarak fell from power, many wondered where the military would stand if the MB gained prominence.

Well, we now have our answer.
(relax: 'Allah' is simply the Arabic word for 'God').
