But what kind of peace are we talking about? Look how President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt sent you a personal letter in July and then denied writing it.
Why does that matter? President Morsi has to answer a great many questions inside his own party. I was surprised not by his denial but rather by the fact that he sent me the letter. The whole matter shows me that Morsi, like any leader taking office, faces tough dilemmas. It is very easy to play the role of the abiding Muslim when you are not in power, but things get complicated when you are. Take, for example, the Egyptian economy, which relies heavily on tourism. If they don’t allow tourists to come and spend their vacations the way they like, they won’t come. No bikini, no tourism.
I feel the same way that you do .. please, tell me, What Muslim in the ME hasn't said some such thing as Morsi did? ... at one time or the other ... OR several times .. ? ... . Morsi is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood ... as Perez says: ..The whole matter shows me that Morsi, like any leader taking office, faces tough dilemmas. It is very easy to play the role of the abiding Muslim when you are not in power, but things get complicated when you are. Yes they do and they have .. I don't know if Morsi will be successful with his dreams or not. but I do know that his 'rant' against the zionist/Israel whatev's .... will not be the reason he loses his position .... it will be Egypt .. .;) Oh yes, Egypt, with all the many factions and all the ongoing corruption .. and all that ....how can he do it? .. He can't because he can't please everyone .. but .. . these comments to me are nothing ... I saw two mentions of it in two Israeli papers today they were the 'sane' papers not the lean right ones ... and they just reported it . .without hysteria ... If the Israeli's have half of Simon Perez wisdom they will do fine . .. and so will Mr. Morsi ... ;) We'll see if this explodes or not over the next two days .. It won't hurt him in Egypt or any other country over there ... so if Israel acts like a sane country ... and responds in a sane way ... then it will be fine ... but IF the radicals get hold of it .. of course their faction will milk it for all it's worth just as our radicals do here .... . oh! ...........so boring and so all the time over manufactured nonsense ... don't get me wrong .. Morsi was not clever to put this on video ... dumb that .. but after all whoever dreamed he would one day be President Morsi? .. Surely he didn't ........;)
