In case you doubted Niall Ferguson knows what he's talking about

This video is well worth watching. It was recorded about a year and a half ago just after the fall of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. In it British historian and author Niall Ferguson precisely predicted the events that have now unfolded with the recent election of the Muslim Brotherhood candidate for Eqypt's presidency.

What is also worth noting are his criticisms of US President Obama's dismal failure to have a handle on foreign policy. That applies now as much as it did when he made these remarks.
