Clinton: U.S. 'would welcome' dialogue with Muslim Brotherhood

Clinton: U.S. 'would welcome' dialogue with Muslim Brotherhood

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/meast/...html?hpt=hp_t2

"................."We believe, given the changing political landscape in Egypt, that it is in the interests of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful and committed to nonviolence, that intend to compete for the parliament and the presidency," she told reporters in Budapest, Hungary. "And we welcome, therefore, dialogue with those Muslim Brotherhood members who wish to talk with us."............."

30 or 40 years from now folks are going to be sitting around saying "How the Hell did it get to this?"

"...........But, she added, any such contacts "will continue to emphasize the importance of and support for democratic principles, and especially a commitment to nonviolence, respect for minority rights, and the full inclusion of women in any democracy. You cannot leave out half the population and claim that you are committed to democracy."................"

Lets all hold our breath on that one.
