The US has tacit control over the Egyptian military by virtue of funding. This was a wise investment. Maybe that will help to stave off a complete disaster.

>> the organization that has co-opted pro-democracy protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square

The word “democracy” in the context of Cairo is an absurdity. The Egyptian population has polled sentiment perfectly to the contrary.

What is to keep 1.6 BILLION Muslims from funding Egypt’s military or any other country’s military?

I don’t think that Saudi Arabia has any military- just Palace Guards. Also the same for Dubai & the UAE.

Funny- Tiger Woods is in Dubai while everyone else is at Pebble Beach.... why?
