From The Jerusalem Post:
A leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel, according to the Hebrew-language business newspaper Calcalist.
Muhammad Ghannem reportedly told Al- Alam that the Suez Canal should be closed immediately, and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” He added that “the people should be prepared for war against Israel,” saying the world should understand that “the Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.”
Ghannem praised Egyptian soldiers deployed by President Hosni Mubarak to Egyptian cities, saying they “would not kill their brothers.” He added that Washington was forced to abandon plans to help Mubarak stay in power after “seeing millions head for the streets.”
Yep – this all about freedom and “democracy.” Nothing to worry about.

How would war with Israel be in Egypt’s interest? Would the theocrats of the Muslim Brotherhood use it to cement their base? The average Egyptian is primarily concerned about keeping his job, earning enough to put food on the table, pay the rent and save for his children’s college education. He shares those concerns with Israelis!
Would he want to be torn from his family, only to be drafted and possibly killed in a destructive war?
The answer lies just across the Gaza border, where Hamas rocket attacks provoked “Operation Cast Lead,” which left many Gazans dead, homeless, unemployed and dependent on U.N. handouts! Did war produce dignity or independence for the people of Gaza? War has never provided peace or prosperity. If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always gotten!
