Remember, Egypt elected the Muslim Brotherhood. My theory is the military, which runs the economy, cut off food and fuel while Morsi was in office. It seems to have suddenly returned after he was deposed. That still leaves the problem that the majority are Islamists.

Your theory sounds plausible, Pan_Yan. I have to wonder which is more dangerous to the civilized world: Islamists or hungry Islamists.

al Reuters (like the eager American MSM dhimmis)
takes the side of the MB, and the fake #s of the MB.

Not even the appearance of random journalism.

There is another very powerful but never mentioned group. They are the money, the force of business and commerce.

The military is thier friend and perhaps tool. there is a symbiotic relation that alloes the country to function.

Similarly, in America, business is not cooperating with the marxixts in power. They are surviving, but not actively growing till the black plague is subdued and gone.

Egyptian security forces shot dead dozens of supporters

That's the best thing to do with them.

This is gonna be unpleasant. This is like Algeria all over again. I’d expect a bloody counter-insurgency lasting decades, with body counts in the hundreds of thousands.

It is still difficult for me to differentiate the good guys from the bad guys in this conflict.

Anybody still think that democracy can come to these hell hole countries?

They need strong, repressive dictators in power to keep them from killing each other and everybody else.

And why is our government sending our money to violent uncivilized brutes?

Suspect that Morsi died resisting the coup (not been heard or seen since July 3). The military is fearful of the the eventual Islamic backlash and has decided to go on a strong pre-emptive offensive. Very bad times ahead for Egypt. The US should not become entangled in the affairs of this foreign country. Its really up to the Egyptians themselves to work out a consensus. Won’t come any time soon and before long hordes of hungry, impoverished but still fervent refugees will be arriving in the lands formerly known as Christendom.

Sounds like a start. There are pics of MB shooting at police so no doubt that’s what’s happening here.

It does not have to be a majority. How much poison needs to be in a gallon of water before you consider the water to be poisonous?

That's why it is so difficult to eliminate muslim violence. It does not take a lot of them to be evil before you have to think that muslim religion is poisonous.

Egyptian security forces shoot dead dozens of pro-Mursi supporters

This is a tragic waste of human resource.

When alkida supporters riot in the streets, the best thing to use is aircraft with incendiary cluster bombs.

I'm betting on the Egyptian Army...

They would probably be easier to deal with than the Muslim Brotherhood - they don't have suicide death wishes and understand that their strength is localized - if we ever get a worthy Commander-in-Chief in the WH, many of our enemies might take a different tack.

Waiting for the “I AM MOHAMED MURSI” to show up soon.
