I’m totally lost here. The people want Morsi out. Why? To replace with who? These people want an Islamic country like Iran...They are surely anti-USA.
Boy o boy...Talk about our status in the world under Bush...people spit at us. No one fears us or respects us...
Replaced by a group of Egyptian Army generals.
They know on which side their bread is buttered...
My understanding is that the people’s desire for an MB islamist government has waned. I think there is an economic component as well vis a vis tourist dollars. Replaced by whom? I don’t know. But I suspect another Mubarak-like strongman.
Obama destroyed 40 years of foreign policy achievements we had with the Egyptians.
A rainstorm of cash did fall - from government reserves and with more than ten billion dollars in loans, and today, in many parts of Egypt, you don't dare plug in a computer without a fully charged backup battery, you have half a bedroom filled with water bottles to get through the next water outage, and you hope that you can get in good with the Islamics if you want to get a job.
Utter poverty has grown by more than 20% under Morsi, with half the country now living on $2 a day. Gas shortages are common, food shortages are becoming more common, and every day the Islamics find another part of Egyptian society to condemn and strike down.
Morsi promised redistribution of wealth, jobs, less poverty and strong Islamic law. What the people have seen is the Brotherhood looting the treasury, giving themselves all the jobs, lifting themselves out of poverty, and an ever shifting Islamic law, and of course, tourism has cratered.
In other words, in a year, Morsi has managed to turn Egypt into the Palestinian Authority.
They are surely anti-USA.

One reason for that is Obama’s support for installing Morsi. However, a lot of the street signs seem to be directed at Obama perfidy, rather than specifically at the USA.
Morsi has instituted a constitution based on Shira Law. It takes away many of the rights of those who do not practice Islam.
Their economy is in the cesspoll, and they are close to food rationing.

Regarding your questions who wants Morsi out, Why? To replace with who? Morsi only got 40% of the vote (Muslim Brotherhood). The MB had years of organizing time. The secular modernist supporters had only a year to organize. Now they have had 2 more years to get feed up and more organized. Morsi immediately moved to eliminate the old constitution which the well organized Islamist Muslim Brotherhood managed to dominate in the rewriting. Morsi also threw out the judiciary. Also, instead of putting energy in to improving Egypt, he put energy into enriching himself, and I presume his favorites.
In other words the people now have enough on him to be royally pixxed. The military is canceling the new constitution and reverting to the old one. Of course, the military are not saints, and run a lot of non military related businesses for fun and profit. Egypt is not pro Iran and has supported the Syrian rebels. Once Morsi is out there will be a lot of in fighting to see what faction(s) can attract the most wide support and votes. I don’t think this will become a military dictatorship.
