However this was a military coup.

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".

You can call it whatever suits you. You can say the Egyptian army created a coup or did its duty to correct an intolerable political situation albeit by force of arms. The point is that when the United States becomes entangled in the internal affairs of foreign countries either by force of arms or “aid” ( Germany, Japan, Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc) it becomes also responsible for outcomes be they good or bad. The US must also be willing to accept both the gratitude and the emnity of the peoples affected by our involvements.
