Is having a President that knows something about the world too much to ask?

Filed in National by on May 4, 2007

Romney says we should round up the Rotarians of the the Arab world.

We’ll move everything to get him. But I don’t want to buy into the Democratic pitch, that this is all about one person, Osama bin Laden. Because after we get him, there’s going to be another and another. This is about Shi’a and Sunni. This is about Hezbollah and Hamas and al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the worldwide jihadist effort to try and cause the collapse of all moderate Islamic governments and replace them with a caliphate.

Here is the problem with that:

To put it bluntly, the trouble here is that the Muslim Brotherhood just isn’t a violent terrorist organization, and certainly doesn’t commit acts of violence against the United States. It’s an extremely traditionalist multinational civil society organization. It’s true that a lot of violent types used to be in the Brotherhood and now they’re in terrorist groups, but used to be is the key phrase here, they left the Brotherhood because the Brotherhood wouldn’t sign on for their agenda. In one clause, Romney’s just gone and broadened the war to include a huge new category of people who have no intention of waging war against the United States or even against Israel.
