I’m not following Cruz here.
Someone Egyptian, educated, on the ground and understanding why the coup was necessary drew a parallel with what would be do if Obama were to suspend the Bill of Rights in the USA and impose Sharia Law? What would we do? Would we support our military in removing Obama from the White House if this action was the only option?
Somehow Cruz is missing the real picture here. Suspend aid all you want Senator but do it for the right reasons, not some tale about rule of law and such nonsense. Moris was a deceiver that was leading the Egyptian people to Sharia Law and the people there did not want that period.
No need Senator for you to chime in now.
Cruz mentions a few paragraphs in that suspending aid to the new regime encourages a more swift acceptance of democracy, therefore eliminating a need for future billions.
If Obama suspended the Bill of Rights and imposed Sharia Law, it would be up to the HOR to impeach him. It's not a good parallel, because in Egypt Morsi was elected because the voters wanted a country more in line with Muslim law.
That's the problem with just handing people free elections for our own benefit. The results may not go our way.
