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.

“... just because the Muslim Brotherhood refused to accept basic human rights and stop burning down churches with worshipers inside...”

Aw, man! They’re so unreasonable. If they can’t burn down churches with worshipers inside, then all that’s left is soccer riots.
