Making friends and influencing people...

Today the US Secretary of State's motorcade was pelted with shoes and tomatoes in Cairo.  Hillary Clinton must of been cringing in the back seat because it is hard to believe that the Arab Spring has led to a Moslem Brotherhood state that takes $1.3 billion in US aid but clearly hates Americans.  The Libyan version of the Taliban is running things there and fortunatley Tunisa has always kept to itself.  Only in the Middle East can one try to help an turn things turn from bad to worse.....Of course, lecturing someone on how to run their country does not help relations.  If it makes anyone feel better, the Romans, Byzantines, Turks, and a number of Moslem caliphates have had the same problem.

The story for your consideration from Yahoo:
