However, the point is unless the US stands behind a hard crack down (shooting into the crowd with live ammo {or like the Turks in the 60s - use jets dropping napalm, tank and arty fire on the crowds}), then Egyptisn Gov will fall and be replaced by one run by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The time for jabber is over, and now its kill or fall time. The more brutal the repression the more likely the ‘protests’ will end and the government survive. The more ‘kindly’ the response, the more likely the government falling is assured.
This is the muslim Middle East, not part of planet Earth.
