...in the same fashion our government congratulated the muslim brotherhood

To our American defense, the Congress at the time probably operated on the unsophisticated presumption that monarchies were all evil. Hopefully now we know better. I believe in progress.

I am not convinced congratulating the Muslim Brotherhood was unequivocally bad. It is perhaps improvident. Remember, that when a popular uprising overthrows a dictator, like Mubarak was, there is a reason to presume the emerging from the elections government as legitimate. Certainly, there is no symmetry between monarchy and a military dictator propped up by bayonets, no matter who paid for the said bayonets.

I guess we will have to disagree on this,dear friend. I don’t believe that there is and ever was innocence that can be defended in the US government system back during the time of communism and history, and I certainly know that political correctness is nothing more than cultural marxism on how the US government has evolved.

The whole US system was flawed from the start and we see the fruits of these grave flaws through the lens of its very short history
