There is no question that there was huge opposition to Morsi in Egypt. Most Americans and Western oriented Egyptian secularists are gratified to see the political Islamists removed from power. However this was a military coup. The US has been the paymaster and supplier to the Egyptian army. History has always held those who fund an organisation at least some resposibility its actions . Americans whatever the eventual outcome in Egypt will be held somewhat responsible.

Not really.

A military coup tends to end with the military in charge. That is not happening in this case.

The military, by the lights of many countries, was simply doing their duty in removing a government that had become tyrannical. This is the duty of the military in Egypt. They are not becoming the government they are "hitting the reset button" and telling the country, "try again".
