Egypt and American Policy: Analysis by Michael Shank CTV News[WEBSITE VERSION] January 31, 2011
Michael Shank, Senior Policy Advisor for US Congressman Mike Honda and PhD
Candidate at George Mason University's Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, critiques the American policy in Egypt and the Middle East, questioning
US commitment to democracy and economic development. According to
Shank, "the real lesson here is that democracy can't be born on the back
of US military aid. Reform can be internationally supported, but must be Egypt-led."
