miracle of alienatie ining ever faction in egyptian society, first supporting morsi against the freedom demonstrators and belatedly switching to the freedom demonstrators behind the army, not behind the army. this is the most amateurish foreign policy administration i have ever seen in life. it makes the bush administration look like a bunch of strategic geniuses. boy, that s something. bottom line, we cannot determine egy egypt s future. the egyptian people have to determine that. we can only play on the margins and should try to play constructively and not automatically assume, ooh, military bad, peaceful protesters who happen to be thugs, good. i m appalled by hearing so many western commentators condemning the military and seemingly siding with the brotherhood when the muslim brotherhood would put these people in jail or far worse. the egyptian people want a little bit of freedom.
