My Way News - Hezbollah chief: Egypt's unrest will change region
My Way News reports: "The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group said Monday the unrest in Egypt will transform the Middle East by pushing out a regime that has maintained peace with Israel."

Comment: This is why my support for the Egyptian democracy movement is guarded. A democracy that puts in power an Islamic government would be a step backwards for human rights. Further, an Islamic government in Egypt that voids the peace treaty with Israel would almost surely mean a new Mideast war in the near-term. We have to look with suspicion on anything that Hezbollah and Iran think is a good thing.
