"Brave New World"

By Paul Greenberg

"Egypt is being melded into a new, secular, modern and moderate government. Facebook and Twitter will make all difference. There is nothing to fear but the Muslim Brotherhood itself, and it's become just a bunch of Jeffersonian democrats, having given up its old murderous ways -- except maybe for a few harmless threats against women, Copts and Israel. Pay no attention to all that. These people don't really mean it. Not any more. This revolution is going to be something new under the Egyptian sun.

So we are assured by the kind of experts pecking out their oh-so-deep thoughts from comfortable offices at some think tank or foreign-policy quarterly."
