Historically, it’s real hard to dislodge a military junta once they’ve seized power.
This is all just going swimmingly isn’t it Hussein?
According to plan? Lovely.
Doesn’t sound like that “Arab Spring democracy” thing is working out for Barry and Hillary. Well, maybe the unions here in this country can send them some more pizza while they’re trying to work it out.
The real reason Obama betrayed Mubarak is because Mubarak wished to maintain the status quo with Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian military is far more anti-Semitic.
I have a strong suspicion that the Egyptian military is thinking of itself much like the Turkish military used to, as the defender of the secular state, opposed to the intrigues of Islamists who want to take it over.
If this is the case, I am more than willing for them to take their time before handing over power, in carefully controlled and supervised elections.
Epecting real Democracy out of Muslims is like looking for the solution to Dark Matter in the brain of a Neanderthal.
The best case scenario is for the military to be in power in Egypt in perpetuity.
