Egypt between Washington’s plans and talk of conspiracies

Whoever reads the political scene today in Egypt and the practices of President Mohamed Morsi and his group must stop in front of a number of questions that need clarification. Despite the apparent confusion in the president’s decisions, there is a determination to proceed with them, disregarding all his opponents and opponents of opinion, in a way that leads every day to the division of the country into two groups fighting each other, which may push the country into a civil war. This insistence on the part of the president to continue his practices must have a protective force that defends him greater than his group, his organization and his militias.

In fact, the presidency is practicing a systematic plan to formulate its policy after the January 25 revolution. Its most prominent features were the great role played by the United States in the Egyptian arena by imposing its dominance and extending its influence over the Egyptian state. Since former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice launched the term “creative chaos” in the Middle East, and the American tactic was aimed at bringing the Sunni Islamic trend to power in most Arab countries in the Middle East, this is what we are witnessing being achieved today, with the opinion of the eye in all the Arab Spring countries that witnessed revolutions.

This American tactic is based on two axes. The first: Protecting Israeli national security, which achieves the interests of the United States in the Middle East, by reaching a solution to the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, thus reaching a final solution to the Palestinian problem and resolving the Israeli conflict with Hezbollah.

The second: Creating a Sunni Islamic alliance similar to NATO in the Middle East, under the leadership of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, to limit the Shiite tide and Iranian influence in the region, without prompting America to get involved in military interventions, provided that Washington’s role is limited to providing logistical assistance. As America benefited from its experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, which incurred heavy material and human losses, it made it keen not to get involved in any military operations outside its country again.

The Muslim Brotherhood, through its contacts with the United States, during the past ten years succeeded in convincing Washington that the Brotherhood is the only Sunni fundamentalist current that can play this role, given the group’s weight not only at the level of Egypt but extending to include many other Arab and Islamic countries in the Middle East.

To achieve its goal, the group had to define its position on some issues of concern to the American public and the European Union, which is related to the group's vision regarding women, the Copts, the position on peace with Israel, pluralism, democracy and the peaceful transfer of power.

With the right approach, which is meant to be false, the group succeeded in reaching a close alliance with the United States. Whoever reads the political scene today finds that the revolutions of the Arab Spring countries have produced mainly Sunni Muslim Brotherhood governments, and the events happening in Syria and Jordan - the Brotherhood stands behind them all - are not far off, but confirms the role that Washington plays in the region with the help of its ally, the Muslim Brotherhood.

The strange thing is that most of the Arab Spring countries in which the Brotherhood succeeded in gaining power have not witnessed any kind of stability so far on the political, security, economic or social levels. On the contrary, more crises and divisions, which in some countries may reach the brink of civil war, and the reason is due to a conflict between the concept of stability and the idea of creative chaos adopted by the United States, which represents Washington’s strategic goal that will help it in re-dividing the countries of the region and draw a new geopolitical map for it, which the Brotherhood considers an essential part of the mechanisms for implementing and drawing this map, if not the main part.

The lack of political acumen and experience of the president and his aides, whether in the presidency or the Guidance Office, as well as the Brotherhood’s rush to implement what it believes to be a long-awaited Islamic project, is what prompted the United States to play political games that would bring the country to where we are now. The strategy makers in Washington thought the president and his group well and realized that the Brotherhood considers the group above the nation, through a number of successive scenes, including but not limited to:

The observation by decision-makers in Washington that the citizen’s problems (internal problems) do not have priority on the president’s agenda, as much as his search for a role he should play at the regional level, especially with regard to the Palestinian issue, which sent a message to Washington to start playing on this chord, allowing the president to play this role by interfering for the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel in exchange for allowing it to place sensors on the Egyptian-Israeli borders to monitor the arms smuggling operations that are carried out by Hamas in the Gaza Strip through Sinai, and that the political leadership’s agreement to place probes on its territorial borders with Israel is a threat to Egyptian national security (America had previously offered this matter to the former regime and it was rejected).

This example, and others, illustrate how America succeeded in reading the Brotherhood well, to the extent that it has taken control of matters in the country to push it towards creative chaos that paves the way for the division of the country to guarantee Israel's security for life, then we find someone who tells us about the opposition's plots here and there. Fear God, and God bless you!!
