I met these youngsters on the Champs-Elysees. They are college students from Cairo on a one month tour of Europe. We joked around and talked politics. They are very happy Hosni Mubarak was ousted. When I talked about American and Israeli security concerns in light of their new president's affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, one of them said, "Don't worry. The Muslim Brotherhood are not a bunch of extremists like in Iran. Islam is just their religion. You have Christians in your Republican Party. It's the same thing."
