Левый журналист Томас Фридман поучает мусульманских братьев:

But the ruling Muslim Brotherhood needs to understand that democracy is so much more than just winning an election. It is nurturing a culture of inclusion, and of peaceful dialogue, where respect for leaders is earned by surprising opponents with compromises rather than dictates….More than anything, Egypt now needs to develop that kind of culture of dialogue, of peaceful and respectful arguing — it was totally suppressed under Mubarak — rather than rock-throwing, boycotting, conspiracy-mongering and waiting for America to denounce one side or the other, which has characterized too much of the postrevolutionary political scene.

Не будем касаться подробно глупости поучения хамасоидов демократии, об этом по ссылке много. Я другое думаю. Мусульманский брат, если бы захотел, в ответ мог бы ему сказать просто - мужик, ты бы на себя и своего президента сначала посмотрел, а потом поучал бы других культуре диалога и поиску компромисса. Кроме знаменитого "I won", вот, например, Любимый Руководитель на переговорах:

Mr. Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations faltered. In an Oval Office meeting last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn't reach agreement, he would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the country the Republicans were at fault.

At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?"

"You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."


Как вам surprising opponents with compromises? Как вам respectful arguing? Ну уж о культуре дискусии рядовых левых, о boycotting, conspiracy-mongering и прочем - тут можно многотомную диссертацию написать.
