"
The USA spent hundreds of billions in tax payer money to keep Egypt as an ally, trained, educated, fed, and care for it's citizens for several decades."
Pretty stupid, eh?!
"Now, it seems it has been lost to the backward Islamist movement."
Says who? Not the Egyptians I know, though they are all Copts and Orthodox. Maybe they are ignorant of Egyptian history too, not being Americans and all.

Roughly 90 percent of Egyptians are Muslim. They are too busy murdering Copts.
1) Pew Survey - DID ARABS CARRY OUT 9/11? Egypt: 59% No
2) The 2010 Pew survey found wide streams of opinion in Egypt that seem at the very least inhospitable to democracy. When asked which side they would take in a struggle between groups who want to modernize the country [and] Islamic fundamentalists, 59 percent of Egyptians picked the fundamentalists, while 27 percent picked the modernizers.
3) And a majority, 54 percent, support making segregation of men and women in the workplace the law throughout Egypt.
4) When asked whether suicide bombing can ever be justified, 54 percent said yes (although most believe such occasions are rare) Eighty-two percent supported stoning for those who commit adulteryM.
5) The Pew 2010 report found that 82 percent of Egyptians hold an unfavorable view of the United States.
Real classy bunch of Islamists in Egypt. I say F-em and let them starve in their ignorance. No more funding for medicine, medical care, food, education, military, college, etc. Source: http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/01/egypts-conflicting-views-democracy-and-religion?sms_ss=email&at_xt=4d47f7a385a168f2%2C0
