An actual policy to foster actual stability

It's pretty obvious to nearly everyone that the "Arab spring" was no such thing, and that Jeffersonian democracy is not in the cards for Egypt for the foreseeable future.  That is why the US ought to be supporting Egypt's military.

Two cogent arguments for such a course appear today: one from Bret Stephens at the WSJ, and one from Thomas Sowell at Townhall.

Preening and posturing ain't gonna cut it.  We have a certain array of options in this situation, and it doesn't include any that we'd rather have.
