The coverage of recent events in Egypt is further proof that Western elites cannot see the forest for the trees. Over the past week, leading newspapers have devoted relatively in-depth coverage to the Egyptian military authorities' repressive actions in subduing protesters in Tahrir Square in Cairo, particularly during their large protest last Friday.
That is, they have provided in-depth coverage of one spent force repressing another spent force. Neither the military nor the protesters are calling the shots anymore in Egypt, if they ever were. That is the job of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The proximate cause of last Friday's mass demonstration was what the so-called Twitter and Facebook revolutionaries consider the military's slowness to respond to their demand for ousted President Hosni Mubarak's head on a platter. The military responded by announcing that Mubarak and his sons will go on trial for capital crimes on August 3.
Beyond bloodlust, the supposedly liberal, young sweethearts of the Western media are demanding a cancellation of the results of the referendum held in March on the sequencing of elections and constitutional reform. Voting in that referendum was widely assessed as the freest vote in Egyptian history. Seventy-seven percent of the public voted to hold parliamentary and presidential elections in September and to appoint members of a constitutional assembly from among the elected members of the next parliament to prepare Egypt's new constitution.
The protesters rightly assert that the early elections will pave the way for the Muslim Brotherhood's takeover of Egypt since the Brotherhood is the only well-organized political force in Egypt. But then, the liberals said they wanted popular rule.

Fascinating that those guys can organize on Facebook all they want, but conservatives and Tea Party activists are forbidden.

It appears the Obama administration will be responsible for aiding the Muslim Brotherhood with the infusion of two billion U.S. dollars into Egypt.
This administration has jumped the tracks, gone completely rogue. Where are our checks and balances? Where are senators and congressmen who have a vested interest in this country?
First Obama facilitates the takeover of a relatively friendly country in the Mideast. Then we fund the terrorist who take over?
What is wrong with this picture?
Someone stop it!!

This was supposed to be the Facebook/twitter/IPOD young going to rule Egypt!
Surely a Majority won’t elect ‘the hood’!
