The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Egypt and Iran have bridged diplomatic relations for the first time in 30 years, ever since Egypt had signed a peace treaty with Israel.
However, Iran and Egypt respectively, have been denying such comments that they had begun smoothing out relations, even though Egypt’s foreign minister had stated in Cairo, that both countries where taking steps to re-establish ties.
Either way you look at it, the situation offers some rather disturbing scenarios as to what is really going on in the Middle East at the height of the unrest spreading from country to country.
For years, Egypt had been the only country to help stabilize the peace with Israel. However, since the collapse of President Hosni Mubarak’s regime in February, there has been more than enough concern as to whether the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate relations within Egypt’s new government, which is predominately Sunni Muslims and the Shiite Iran.
Historically speaking, Sunnis and Shiite Muslims do not get along, however the Muslim Brotherhood believes Muslims are not supposed to fight fellow Muslims and theoretically return to their earlier roots at the time of the prophet Mohammad.
But the Sunnis and Shiites do share one common goal: Destroy Israel and the United States.
Meanwhile here in at home, we have a completely incompetent President that refuses to address the destabilization of the Middle East. Perhaps he really doesn’t care? Perhaps it is just better off for the Arab world to fight against one another and then unite to destroy Israel and then ignore the problem?
Nobody seems to know what is really going on in this man’s head.
