A quote from Steven Sotloffs journal. This is what happens to sympathetic Liberals wen they befriend the enemy. Im sorry this man is dead. But he was warned to stay away from these people. He didnt believe that they were capable of the barbarism that he ultimately faced. When I told my Egyptian friend Ahmad Kamal that I wanted to go to the Muslim Brotherhood protest camp in Nasser City, a pallid look gripped him. “Don’t go there!” he pleaded. “They are fanatics who hate foreigners. Americans like you are in danger there.” After an hour of fruitless conversation over endless glasses of sweet tea, I rose, shook Ahmad’s hand, and headed straight to the lair where he believed I would be devoured. But when I arrived at Nasser City, the picture Ahmad painted of long-bearded, club-wielding extremists bent on roughing up secular Egyptians was just as devoid of truth so much else in this divided country. Coups depicted as revolutions, peaceful protesters painted as fanatics, and disgruntled citizens hailed as revolutionaries have transformed Egypt into a circus where the main attraction is the uncertainty of heading into the unknown. At some point these idiots are responsible for their own irresponsible decisions. If someone jumped out of an airplane without a parachute we dont blame the airplane
