Taking Burke just a little further than it might be right to take him perhaps. I am your representative, not your delegate, you are selecting the person to represent your interests….and given that times change it’s difficult to know exactly what the correct plan is.

And if you insist on asking me, there will be a short and unpleasant jail sentence prior to your execution.
I find I can bear Egyptian militarists being beastly to Egyptian Islamofascists with remarkable equanimity. Unless and until it starts materially harming interests closer to home this really is an instance where my non-interventionist instincts trump my humanitarian ones.
