George Will offers a proposition...

If anyone's wondering, one of the reasons I'm not writing much about Egypt is that I don't actually know much about Egypt. I have a sense of how they got to this point, some fears about what might happen and some hope that it will somehow work out well for the Egyptians, but I don't know much.

Which, I suppose, puts me on the same side as George Will.

Is that wrong?
