When it comes to the leaders of Egypt’s anti-Mubarak opposition, it doesn’t get any better than the blogger Sandmonkey. So it’s instructive to see how even the best-of-the-best of Egypt’s opposition see future developments regarding Israel and the Muslim Brotherhood. Barry Rubin, a Middle East expert I like, has produced a commentary on some of Sandmonkey’s recent tweets. Call it an international experiment in blog-tweetery.

The larger problem is that Sandmonkey is an outlier among Egypt’s opposition. Even young people in the movement generally fall closer to the spectrum of parties I describe in my piece “A Frightful Democracy,” just out in the new issue of NATIONAL REVIEW.
