		<description><![CDATA[&quot;...in this one aspect of refusing to call this a &quot;coup&quot;, I completely agree with him, though, I&#039;m sure he did it for vastly different reasons.&quot;



Agreed. We don&#039;t so much agree with him as celebrate the fact that he can&#039;t decide what to do next. The less he does, the better. Our enemies already know he won&#039;t harm them, so we now want to keep him from harming us so much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Calling it a coup would be more or less the same kind of decision as defining a &quot;red line&quot; for Iran. 0&#039;Bama doesn&#039;t have the guts or the discretion. 


He&#039;s not cut out for leadership. He&#039;s just a class-warrior. He can lead the shock troops in his socialist class war. Come to think of it, that seems to be all he does now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the post.  



It is clear that what happened in Egypt is best described as a &quot;Popular Revolution&quot; where the Egyptian Army carried out the will of the people (which was clear given the massive number of signatures on the petition opposing Morsi).


Decades ago the Democrats would have supported such a &quot;Popular Revolution&quot;. Now the Democrats have moved past the point of socialism, and even past the point of Stalinism (Big State against the people), they are now at the stage where they promote religious theocracies against a secular populace  (provided the theocracy is not Christian nor Jewish; Islamic supremacists are the International Socialist&#039;s [eg. Democrat] pets for the moment). It is ironic how the Democrats rail against conservatives for their embrace of Christianity (despite the conservatives keeping Church and State separate) yet the Democrats are all for the supremacist ideology of Islamic theocracy.


If the Democrats cared about minorities they would help the Copts.  They don&#039;t care about minorities except as a talking point to bash anyone standing in their way.


Looks like the Copts are going to have to stick up for themselves. This is going to get very messy (the Copts may be outnumbered by Egyptian Muslims; but the Copts outnumber the Salafis and Brotherhood hard core; once the Copts realise that then the Copts may remember that Christ warned he&#039;d bring a sword next time he visited).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While it might technically be a &quot;coup&quot;, in that the military overthrew Morsi, the reality on the ground is that it was the will of the majority of the Egyptian people, as Morsi and the brotherhood were changing the constitution to solidify their power (one vote, one time...), and there was an increase in enforcement of a more medieval sharia, including widespread persecution of the Coptic Christians of Egypt.  The truly more &quot;moderate&quot; muslims (and there are...basically muslims who don&#039;t follow the barbaric codes of their religion, and are more modernized) as well as the Copts, comprising a larger majority than the brotherhood, wanted the military to oust Morsi and the brotherhood - it was the only way.  In this way, this was NOT a &quot;coup&quot; in the traditional sense, which would be the military overthrowing a government simply for their own power, with no input from the people.  This is a huge difference, and I would hope others can see that as well.  Not only have I seen this for myself, but my Coptic friends from and in Egypt have literally begged me to &quot;get the word out&quot; regarding this aspect of it, as they are mortified the western media seems intent on labeling this a &quot;coup&quot; without the clarification that it&#039;s what the majority of the people wanted.  In short, while I loathe the policies and ideologies of Herr Obama, in this one aspect of refusing to call this a &quot;coup&quot;, I completely agree with, though, I&#039;m sure, for vastly different reasons.  Sincerely.]]></description>
