The Egyptian military just lead a coup to overthrow Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's first ever democratically elected president. They are now starting a fresh democracy. Discuss the future of Egypt.
Mohammed Morsi is Overthrown
Didn't he take office just a little over a year ago because they people of Egypt didn't like their president then?
I couldn't imagine the American military doing this in our country.

it's interesting because through the last 3 weeks there've been peaceful but enormous protests over here every single day, demanding the taking down of our month-old government because of obvious acts of corruption and so on
just the other day about 45-60 000 protesters were all over the city's major streets
kudos to egypt, hopefully the same thing will happen here

Things like that don't happen in the US on their own accord, there would have to be larger corruption and turmoil in this nation because quite frankly our government is more competent than Egypt's since our leaders do not grant themselves supreme constitutional powers.prince0gotham wrote:it's interesting because through the last 3 weeks there've been peaceful but enormous protests over here every single day, demanding the taking down of our month-old government because of obvious acts of corruption and so on

I hate that they had to resort to a military coup. How is this different than any other previous military coup done in Arab countries? There is no doubt Morsi fucked up way too much in the past year. He failed to implement what he promised then he broke the entire democratic process during the constitutional declaration and the shameful way the constitution was written without all parties present. BUT the military will be even worse in the long-term if it is not made accountable to civilians in the new constitution. And I highly doubt the military will simply hand back the power to the Egyptian people. The Egyptian military has been the primary oppressive institution that has fucked up Egypt for so long. What the MB have done in one year to Egypt is nothing compared to what the military has done.
Funny the exact same people who were shouting "down with the military rule" last year are now welcoming military intervention, o god we arabs do have a memory of a goldfish.
