A look at the Muslim Brotherhood…Where do they come from?…What do they stand for?…What are their goals and how do they intend to achieve them?
Plus…What has been the historic results of the people taking democratic control of their countries in the Arab world?…What are the likely outcomes today, and what are the implications for the Western World, the U.S. and Israel?

And…Some parting advice for the policy-makers in Washington…Take it, or leave it…
