If Obama stays in, it will be a shame for her to go. Having said this, I think the UN has done enough 'nation building' for a while. For a change, maybe they should wait and see how the messes in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya turn out before making new ones. Unless they are hoping to make another paradise for the Muslim Brotherhood to take over. Then, by all means, go for it.

I doubt the muslim brotherhood will win, the military do not like them and Egypt has been anti brotherhood since Nasser's time. Hence why the election is often stalling and making way for other secular parties to win.

I doubt the muslim brotherhood will win

They are huge block in Egypt and they got around 47% of the vote in recent elections. They look to be gaining serious ground in Libya. It is not sunshine they are spreading. When the military does give up power, if they do, the Muslim Brotherhood is certainly poised and ready to take it in Egypt. They would also love to do the same in Syria. Feel free to think otherwise, but the Brotherhood has hardly been shy about their desires in Egypt and Libya.

Did Ghadaffi spread sunshine?

If the arabs want to vote in a democratic arena and choose to live in the middle ages it's their right and their country.

However I support a mirror image for them if they decide to live in the West, i.e zero tolerance.

Let them sort out their own mess. If it happens, great. If not, then c'est la vie. There are far too many domestic problems that are paramount in the US that need drastic focus rather than a foreign land. I respect Ms. Clinton and she's done a great job, but it's time to get the UN out of the US and stop all this foreign interference.

Did Ghadaffi spread sunshine?

In recent years, internationally he was spreading more sunshine than rain. If the Muslim Brotherhood comes to power there, I doubt there will be sunshine internationally or domestically.

If the arabs want to vote in a democratic arena and choose to live in the middle ages it's their right and their country.

If they want to vote in the grandpa of Hamas and Hezbollah into another country's government, they should not get help form the UN to do it.

However I support a mirror image for them if they decide to live in the West, i.e zero tolerance.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has said one of the first things they want to do when they get into power is "review" peace agreements with Israel. By the time the West decides on zero tolerance, they would probably already be involved in another conflict.
