WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Egypt's military appears to be showing restraint with peaceful anti-government protesters so far and there is no talk at this time about halting U.S. aid to Egypt, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Sunday.

Clinton, speaking on ABC television network's "This Week," added that President Hosni Mubarak's appointment of a vice president on Saturday was only the "bare beginning" of a long-list of needed reforms in Egypt.

Okay, so the murderous Muslim Bortherhood wrests control of Egypt and we’re still going to send hard-earned American tax dollars to them? Of course, the Obama regime is THAT stupid.

I think our US Government is smart enough to do everything in it’s power to prevent the Muslim Brother Hood from taking over while using restraint in meddling in their internal affairs. Diplomacy is what is needed and not force. If the US cuts off aid we will then lose them for sure. That is not in our best interest at the present.
Also; (renojmc) please! Unless you have a better solution, don’t call our President and the administration stupid. They are handling the situation in the best way possible for the benefit of all concerned. The Genie has been let out of the bottle and there is no magic wand that can put him back. The best medicine at the moment is diplomacy.
