What was it, a day after Obama started looking for ways to give our tax dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt that we find out they are holding the son of one of his cabinet members hostage??? Read on...

Egypt clamps down on U.S. groups promoting democratic reforms — potentially endangering the $1.3 billion in U.S. aid the Egyptian army gets each year.
 
Egyptian authorities have put six Americans — including Sam Lahood, the son of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood — on a no-fly list, preventing them from leaving the country.

The move is part of a crackdown by Egyptian security forces on Washington-backed groups that promote democracy and human rights.

Egypt's military leaders, who took over after protesters pushed aside longtime leader Hosni Mubarak last February, say they want to lead a transition to democracy and hand over power to an elected president this summer.

What do they hope to accomplish by provoking the U.S. so overtly?

Here, a brief guide:

Who are the Americans being targeted by Egypt?
They work for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that promote human rights and civil institutions needed to build a democracy.

The groups also helped monitor the country's recent parliamentary elections. \

Egyptian security forces last month raided the offices of 17 such NGOs, including the Washington-based International Republican Institute (IRI), National Democratic Institute, and Freedom House.

Sam LaHood is the IRI's director in Egypt.

Maybe it's just a unified front to pray on the single weakness (outside greed) of any given president's view on America; pride.

By diverting the government's eyes onto several different home fronts at the same time, it will divide our forces; and ultimately because they are so naive to believe that we 'have a moral obligation to aid the lesser' they will actually be setting ourselves up for a downfall.

Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Korea..

While one by itself may not be ultimately huge..
..unifying them all due to a president's arrogance..

Well, you do the math.

Maybe, just maybe, they are all working together...

I'm an American and I'm sick of us putting our noses in everyone else's business..

..maybe everyone else is too?

Hmm...

Already put that out there a year ago, and no one believed me....good luck with convincing anyone.....I couldn't

Hey, I'm not trying to..

In fact, not even going to bother with it.

Just tossed it out there.

I just options and opinions.

I don't make it a habit to convince anyone of anything.

Maybe they're really snappy dressers!
