So just so I understand, you basically would have sided with King George had he promised to allow elections in 1777?
Your statement might be construed in a manner that would condemn the American Revolution as a non-democratic undertaking.
I don’t remmeber our Founding Father’s including communists and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. This is not 1776 or even 1789. Try 1979 and drop the cultural relativism.
Just so you understand, I am making the point that Egypt has a democratic system already. The elected leader (albeit a strongman type of ruler) has agreed to stand aside and let the country select a new leader in the regularly scheduled elections in September.
Obama is fanning the flames to have an extra-democtratic solution to the Egyptian leadership crisis - to step around the process already in place and allow the mob to dictate who will lead the country, without giving the rest of the country (the ones not rioting) a voice in the process.
Your invocation of the American revolution is a strawman fallacy, and is repulsive. I was making the explicit point that Egypt already has a democratic method for transferring power. That is hardly appropriate to the colonies in 1776.
