Egypt on the edge after Mursi rebuffs army ultimatum

The definition of insanity: Pursuing the same course with the same actions and expecting different results.

If Morsi were *able* to come up with a true coalition government, he would have done so before now. He is unable to.

i hope the protesters string this guy up when he refuses

What is most interesting is when the Islamist move to take over Egypt, Syria, Lybia and pretty much every other Middle Eastern country the United States helps. When Egyptians realize they were lied to during the last national elections and decide to get rid of the IslamoNazis the United States does nothing.

The problem is the puppet-greedy army and a greedy opposition confusing the masses

Morsi is a incredibly compromised leader.

His actions, and those of this Brethren have caused this problem.

The only credible solution is for him to step down immediately

Since Morsi & the MB supporters keep clinging to the word ‘legitimacy,’ a viable peaceful solution is for the military to run a referendum on Morsi and his party, and if the people voted him out – which would easily be the case – then Morsi and the MB government resign their posts immediately. The head of the constitutional court would then serve as a transitional president putting technocrat government in place. And back to the drafting board, on a clean slate, to get it right this time – starting with the constitution first.

Sounds like he’s using Obama’s playbook. Who, me accountable?

Army’s ultimatum is illegal and bizarre. I am no MB or Islamists fan but the army is attempting a coup which would be worse than any wrong Morsi and the Brotherhood have done. This mob rule is wrong. Street thugs should not be allowed to overthrow a democratically elected leader.

Growing up in the cold war years, I was indoctrinated to the belief that Democracy was what all people yearned for, even if they didn’t know it yet. It took an honest student of mine from Mainland China to set me straight. He said “we are not here for Democracy and freedom; we are here for money.” The Saudi’s warned us that Democracy is the surest way to bring Al Queda to power. Muslims do not want Democracy;,they want a world ruled by Sharia law and the infidels will eventually convert or be slain. Obama has installed Islamists in Libya and Egypt and is now arming terrorists in Syria. But, a least he agreed to give $7 billion of our tax dollars to stop power outages in Africa. God save us from this buffoon!.

Lowell_Thinks…..how can you honestly say that when the Egyptian people flooded he streets to oppose the Islamists in power. The young people want democracy, they are progressive, and you could equate them to the democrats, while the old religious conservatives in the country want to rule as a borderline theocracy riling up their easily excitable rural base, we can call these guys republicans. Viewing the Egyptian conflict through these lenses makes it seem all too familiar…..

React,
You forget, Morsi was elected by the majority; the young “democrats” flooding the streets are the minority.

Democracy comes at a price, and that is NOT to support
military coups. If the secularists and Christians back the
generals, they lose all legitimacy.

the problem is the egyptian themselves and this is due to the weird approach of islam.yesterday the animals raped (again) one dutch journalist.hey guys news flash from allah:nobody goes to heaven if he rape or kill christian.

Yikes – the Arab Spring might be turning into a Summer Scorcher!

WHY is there no legitimate IMPEACHMENT procedure??? To initiate and enact by majority.

Every true democracy must have it. If the don’t its nothing but a joke of democracy.

It’s absurd and improper for the military of a so-called democratic Egypt to issue an ultimatum to their president who should be threatened by nobody around him.

Any backtrack on democracy in this country is detrimental to future of the region. Czars may return to reign again, if people so choose.
