Chaos to the right...chaos to the left. The ME will be a cauldron of fire for the next 50 years. There is little that can be done to control or moderate events. Hopefully we don't get our people involved.
Da phuck it's not a coup. Not sure what they're not seeing here. Well, actually I do understand the reasoning; however, in light of the recent mistrust and popularity plummet of big O's administration, I'm not sure it's the best move for monkey ears.
according to his statement, he's just asking that the military not arrest him. Other than that, he's asking the military to return power back to an elected government as soon as possible, without giving specifics. This is a potentially dangerous situation with grave long term effects. What Egypt is going through now is similar to the power grab that turned Iran from a relatively Western country into one of the most evil countries in history. Israel is right next door. All the world leaders are calling for a return to Democracy and the Constitution in Egypt. This is a military coup and the military has announced the Constitution has been suspended. Israel, the US, and all the major powers and their intelligence agencies are going to have to sit down and figure out all the angles here...all the major players, their motives, etc (and we have people we pay to keep on this: CIA, etc) If there isn't some obvious potential Hitler about to win an election, I'd assume world leaders will want Egypt to gear up for an election for a new president as soon as possible, which may be what a lot of the military leaders want as well. This is from Obama's statement: "I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters. ... "The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law. Since the current unrest in Egypt began, we have called on all parties to work together to address the legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people, in accordance with the democratic process, and without recourse to violence or the use of force. "The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people. ... "The United States continues to believe firmly that the best foundation for lasting stability in Egypt is a democratic political order with participation from all sides and all political parties -- secular and religious, civilian and military.During this uncertain period, we expect the military to ensure that the rights of all Egyptian men and women are protected, including the right to peaceful assembly, due process, and free and fair trials in civilian courts. "Moreover, the goal of any political process should be a government that respects the rights of all people, majority and minority; that institutionalizes the checks and balances upon which democracy depends; and that places the interests of the people above party or faction. The voices of all those who have protested peacefully must be heard -- including those who welcomed today's developments, and those who have supported President Morsi. In the interim, I urge all sides to avoid violence and come together to ensure the lasting restoration of Egypt's democracy. "No transition to democracy comes without difficulty, but in the end it must stay true to the will of the people. An honest, capable and representative government is what ordinary Egyptians seek and what they deserve. The longstanding partnership between the United States and Egypt is based on shared interests and values, and we will continue to work with the Egyptian people to ensure that Egypt's transition to democracy succeeds."
You're not going to be able to think straight if you're blinded by butthurt. If you want to think straight, you're going to have to drop your Hatred. I'm not saying you have to like Obama (indifference is the best angle), but until you drop your Hate, you're not going to be able to think straight
What about Mubarak? He didn't ask them to return him to power. Does He just do that for his Muslim brotherhood friends? When you have a few million people turn out to protest a "democratically elected" leader. There is something seriously wrong.
