Report on Zero Hedge says Muslim Brotherhood offices set on fire.
Man, these guys know how to make a political speech, don’t they?
I almost wish we had such a military...
I predict that Morsi and his buddies will be gone by end of this coming hoilday weekend.
To paraphrase Patton, don't sacrifice your own blood, sacrifice the blood of morsi and the muzziebrotherhood SOBs.
Americans LOOK UP to PRAVDA for accurate truthful news.
Americans LOOK UP to the Egyptian military to teach
how to remove undocumented Moslem dictators.
WHO COULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT THE WORLD
WOULD ATTEMPT TO HELP a dying AMERICA
AGAINST ITS al QAEDA/Moslem Brotherhood
pRes_ _ent ... from Indonesia.
The well supplied(by America) army is going to go out and fight people with sticks and they give a brave speech about their willingness to die...ugh.
Military juntas (Turkey until recently) are the best forms of government for Islamic countries.
Because Islam is mutually exclusive to individual liberty, democracy in an Islamic country will always lead to an Islamic theocracy, which will abuse the minority. So democracy is off the table, unless you want to live with a 7th century, homicidal, goat kissing state.
Arab nationalism offered a secular fascist alternative, but took the form of dictators. These dictators consolidated power by eliminating everyone that could possibly put limits on their power.
As in Turkey from WWI to just recently, a military junta cracks down on mainly islamic elements to maintain their power, but they have no ideology to force on people, which makes people relatively safe against crimes of conscience. Although dictators do emerge from juntas, they often do not, as the military continues to operate as a staff operation. There is a civilian president that is only allowed to act within the confines of the military’s allowable limits, but this serves to prevent a general from becoming the figurehead.
In foreign policy, military juntas tend to be subdued. They might welcome a war against a weaker antagonist, but they do not want to enter into a conflict which will weaken their power. They have no ideology to hold their power with, they need their tanks and crack troops to hold power at home. If those are taken out, they know they are in trouble, as the ideological movements they have been suppressing quickly become more powerful. And the U.S. is very good at destroying military equipment.
So, to sum up. I hope that the military in Egypt does take over and form a junta, as that is the best an Arab Islamic country can hope for.
Good post
