“No, the MB and the military—especially since they are being led by generals picked by Morsi, especially Sisi—are an equal evils to each other.”

What part of there are only two choices don’t you understand? There is no third option. However, there actually is one, further down the road. After the Egyptian army gets rid of the MB as much as possible, and bans them from politics, then there will be new elections in the future with an elected civilian gov’t taking over. It may take a while, to make sure the MB is irradicated as a political party, but it will happen.

Were the MB to be put back in charge, there would be no future elections at all. And that would guarantee another political revolution in the future. Endless turmoil for Egypt, or a sharia law dictatorship with no democracy in sight at all if the MB were to succeed in turning Egypt into an Islamic terrorist state. Now, stop being a contrarian with no answer or plan at all for Egypt. You just end up sounding like an ignoramous and a johnny one note.

There may be two sides, but not two choices. It’s like having to “choose” between Stalinism and Trotskyism in the old USSR—and like in Egypt today, the Red Army made that choice for the people in Russia.

Just for the record, I never at any time advocate the return of the Muslim Brotherhood, which spawned the PLO and its later divisions such as Fatah and Hamas. It still bears remembering that General Sisi was Morsi’s choice for a reason, and that due to the general’s plain radical Islamist leanings.
