Last month, President Obama disregarded congressional objections and granted in a lump-sum payment $1.5 billion to the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Egyptian government. The rashness of that decision – and the dangers associated with such U.S. submissiveness – are becoming clearer by the day.

For example, Egypt has just asked Interpol to arrest 16 Americans held hostage by Egypt until they were ransomed for $4 million. That’s the international police organization Mr. Obama recently allowed to operate here in unconstitutional ways.

Meanwhile, the Brotherhood in Cairo is moving towards a constitution that imposes shariah law. And now, Egypt has unilaterally broken long-term contracts to provide natural gas to Israel.

Mr. Obama has rewarded and emboldened our enemies, and no good will come of it.
