A lot of Americans are pretty angry about the exact same thing.
This coup may be disastrous for Egypt. The Brotherhood will not go quietly and the country may be wrecked with civil violence and terrorism. It also underscores the danger of American involvement in the affairs of foreign countries. Make no mistake, we were involved. The Egyptian military consulted with American officials prior to the coup and we are the paymasters and prime suppliers of the Egyptian military. Our entire policy and involvement in the Mideast needs a comprehensive review and revision
This is why it doesn’t pay for the US to get involved in internecine squabbles ... particularly when Arabs or other Muslims are involved.
Let them sort out their own business, and mind our own. The US State Department is utterly incompetent even to understand which side more closely aligns with US interests.
Let’s see...America brought Egypt to a Peace treaty with Israel in 1978.
Pumped her with Trillions of $$ and advanced weaponry, training, set up manufacturing plants for the M-1 Abrams tanks, F-16s, and the works.
In other words, the US put all it’s eggs in one big basket -Egypt, which is now a basket case is slightly turning against her American ally.
The question to be asked is why?
The answer to that question has everything to do with the policies and conduct of the Obama administration.
All the ties and cooperation carried out during the Carter (Ugh), Reagan, Bush, Clintoon and Bush administrations is now dying because THIS Presidnet does not have a grip on reality and is supporting the MB, America’s enemy.
The Egyptian generals are right to have tossed Morsi aside, Democracy or no Democracy for now. The US always gets a boomerang back in the face for stupid and short-sighted policies.
