In what the Washington Post called one of the “most amazing letter[s] to the editor ever written,” well-known Egyptian blogger The Big Pharaoh explained the president’s predicament: Sir: Iran is backing Assad. Gulf states are against Assad! Assad is against the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood and Obama are against [Egypt’s] General Sisi. But Gulf states are pro-Sisi! Which means they are against the Muslim Brotherhood! Iran is pro-Hamas, but Hamas is backing the Muslim Brotherhood! Obama is backing the Muslim Brotherhood, yet Hamas is against the U.S.! Gulf states are pro-U.S. But Turkey is with Gulf states against Assad; yet Turkey is pro-Muslim Brotherhood against General Sisi. And General Sisi is being backed by the Gulf states! Welcome to the Middle East and have a nice day.
