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.

That’s good to hear. As to Sisi, he may be calling some of the shots now (for someone whose leanings you say are radical Islamist, it’s funny how he is busy getting rid of the MB who are radical Islamists) but there are other army members also to keep each other in check. Eventually there will be new elections, minus the MB who will be banned as a political party. It’s almost immaterial what either of us thinks, as the ball is already rolling and it is merely a case of everyone waiting for the final outcome.
