CRACKDOWN ON THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: A TALE OF AMERICAN DECLINE
The Egyptian regime’s latest crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood may be more prolonged than previous campaigns but it still fits into a long pattern of periodic repression of the world’s oldest and largest Islamic movement. But the untold story behind the crackdown is the relentless erosion of America’s influence in the region. By failing to even mildly condemn the Egyptian regime for its worst excesses, the Bush Administration has exposed the emptiness of its pro-democracy rhetoric. Moreover, by failing to come to terms with the growing influence of Islamists, the United States risks being reduced to a marginal player in the region in the not-too-distant future.
