Menachem Begin writes in Revolt! that the difference between a tyranny and a free country is that a tyrant believes he and his country are one and the same. So to speak ill of or defy the Leader is an act of treason against the nation. In a free country, however, the government is merely a servant of the people of the country, and different regimes of government peaceably exchange power and are interchangeable.

So if Morsi is calling these anti-government demonstrations "actions against Egypt and the revolution," it's no wonder they are become violent. No peaceful transition of power to a new government is possible. He is the state. He is the revolution. Anyone opposing him opposes Egypt.

So the government that Obastard supported isn’t so popular with the people.

This is the Muslim Brotherhood dictator engineered by Obama in action. I wonder if some if the US military support will be used against the Egyptian people?

Good for Egyptians who will not stand for islamo-tyranny...burn the country down and force the members of the military to take a side.

Morsi came to power due to demonstrations. Now he doesn’t like them any more. :-)

Egypt has negligible amounts of oil. It needs tourism, and it needs Western companies being comfortable about coming in and doing business, neither of which is going to happen under Morsi.

The common people know they have to get rid of Morsi or they will starve. If it means killing off the Islamists, then so much the better.

From the article "Morsi said, "The attacks we have been seeing for the last few days are unacceptable actions against Egypt and the revolution, and I will fight the attackers with utmost power and determination."

But ...but ...all they wanted was democracy, just like us. /s

Is the media covering the failure of Obama’s ME policy? So far he’s made things worse than Jimmy Carter did. Our grandchildren’s grandchildren will be paying for his State Department’s disaster machine.

Oh, no! A counter revolution?

The Arab Spring is nothing but a fraud on the Egyptian people? Who'd have thought it? Certainly not Obongo’s MSM acolytes.

Soccer is the problem. Nobody ever went to war, as happened in Central America, because of a baseball game. These riot started out when 21 soccer hooligans were sentenced to death for killing other soccer hooligans. I’m not saying the trials accurately nailed the killers, but the riots are only about soccer.
And those Christians pulling out of the “reconciliation talks” just because the Muslim Brotherhood refused to accept basic human rights and stop burning down churches with worshipers inside. That’s the problem.
And the increased rates of poverty of the masses while those connected to the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi seem to be making out like bandits (which they are). The bad economy is the problem.
And the wobbly support of the military.
No, no, these aren’t anti- government riots. These are all local, minor problems. Pres. Obama welcomes the Arab Spring, so much so that he sent them some of our most advanced jet aircraft. These are just protests by lay-abouts and troublemakers.

Every day Obama’s Middle East foreign policy becomes clearer:

If Muslim dictators like Bashar al-Assad of Syria and Mohamed Morsi of Egypt unleash murderous rampages against their own citizens, that’s not worth mentioning. In fact, if al-Qaeda terrorists murder four American soldiers and diplomats in one of our Middle East consulates, that’s not a big deal either; ‘’What difference does it make?!’’ shrieked Hillary Clinton.

However, if the democratically elected prime minister of Israel decides to allow houses to be built on Israel’s own land, that’s a cause for Obama’s unmitigated outrage.

the soccer massacre was staged by the goverment, anyone can immediately confirm it by visioning the images.
The tactic of “divide and reign”, to gain support from people in Cairo.
22 innocents sentenced to death is the another act in this script.
The last act is martial law in 3 cities.

you're right, these countries have no idea what true democracy means, they've never had it before.
