A Majority Of Egyptians Want To Institute Islamic Law And Cancel The Peace Treaty With Israel

Bad news about that democratic uprising in Egypt.
54 percent of Egyptians want to cancel the peace treaty with Israel, according to Pew. That would be the 1978 Camp David Accords, which resulted in the Nobel Peace Prize and represented America's most successful framework for peace in the Middle East.
Now, I don't think Americans are ready for democracy, so perhaps that's no surprise. I'm just weary of the mystical association in some people's minds between democracy and thinking like a civilized person. Plainly no such association exists.
