British Prime Minister David Cameron said "we never support" military intervention. - what a fuckin' hypocrite!

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle described Morsi's ouster as a "major setback for democracy in Egypt" and warned that "political detentions and a political wave of repression must be avoided at all cost." - ummmm....actually, what took place was the people's will....the majority anyway

Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said that U.S. officials had conveyed to their Egyptian counterparts "the importance of a quick and responsible return of full authority to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible; a transparent political process that is inclusive of all parties and groups; avoiding any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters; and the responsibility of all groups and parties to avoid violence." - unlike most coups, this one was largely non-violent....as was the people's will!

Peace! :)

Updates from Egypt -- 1:20 AM:

1. Clashes injure hundreds

At least 250 have been injured in the governorates of Sharqiya, Daqahliya and Giza following clashes between pro-Morsi supporters and Anti-Morsi supporters and the Military.

In Zagazig, the capital of the Sharqiya governorate, thousands of local residents had taken to the streets to demand Morsi's reinstatements. Police officers attempted to disperse the crowds with tear gas, but failed to do so. Those injured suffered wounds from gun shots, rocks, sticks and bladed weapons. 15 people have been arrested for incitement of violence.

Giza's Cairo University witnessed violence between Pro-Morsi supporters and the military that had been stationed there to provide security. Dozens were injured including several military officers. One video showed a military officer beaten and dragged by supporters of the deposed President.

2. The Brotherhood vows to fight

The Muslim Brotherhood have remained defiant amid continued arrests of their members and have vowed to fight against this "military coup."

Meanwhile, Former President Morsi and 35 other leading Brotherhood officials have been arrested and are under investigation for inciting the killing of protesters. Morsi was also barred from leaving the country. Other islamists that are being investigated include Supreme Guide Mohamed Badei, Deputy Guide Khairat El-Shater, Former Supreme Guide Mahdi Akef, leading officials Mohamed El-Beltagy, Sobhy Salef, Mohamed El-Omda, and the Islamist El-Wasat's Essam Sultan.

3. Protests planned over "military coup"

Egypt's Islamists have called for mass protests on Friday over the military's "coup d'etat." The Alliance of Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist parties, The National Alliance to Support Legitimacy, rejected the military's moves and vowed mass resistance following what they called "the return of a police state."

So I guess that the west's support of these Muslim "terrorists" is OK. I get it. I think.

Peace! :)

Most coup's that are based on the military taking over the government are peaceful. It's when the people get involved without the military that it turns violent.

"People"'s will? lol - I'd love to be a simpleton, it would make things so much easier.

Peace! :)

Oh, Bobby Blue Balls, you really are quite the imbecilic blowhard, ain't ya?!!

Do you even know anything about Egypt and its history? Have you even been following the events that have unfolded in the past few years? Have you ever spoken to an Egyptian? Do you even know of any Egyptians, and as an extension, their beliefs and/or points of view? Have you ever even traveled to Egypt?

I could continue this debate/discussion, along many others, but it would inevitably prove pointless and a complete waste of my time and energy, as evidenced by all of our previous exchanges.

So I leave you to your slothfulness and delusions of grandeur. Have at it. This will be the last time I will even bother acknowledging your slovenly existence. You will not have one more second of my time, as you are forever on ignore.

Have a terrific life and keep crunching those numbers.

Peace out! :)

I'll keep crunching the numbers and you keep hiding in your cocoon. I think that's what makes your ignorance so troubling to me. It's willful. There's been a lot of bloodless revolutions over the past 15-20 years and they always involve the military taking Over. I've been to the slums of Alexandria, the urban center of Cairo and I've witnessed an Egyptian literally torn because of the soccer team he was rooting for, but I don't have friends there.

Glad your friends side won and tell them goodluck staving off the next revolution. Since the side in power now has the guns, I'd suspect that the revolution may get a little more bloody.

What do you think should be happening, or should of happened? Just curious what your thoughts on the current situation in Egypt are.

It is refreshing to hear the 'do you even know anyone that is _______' approach applied to Egyptians.

Right behind you
Given the unsolved problems here in the USA, I think we've got enough to do without getting involved in Egypt or anywhere else.

They'll work this out somehow. Our involvement will only make some more new enemies for us.

Same with shitholes like Afghanistan. If they want to go back to the 12th century and play polo with each others heads, fine. Hell, 40% of our population wants to go back to the 18th century so they can keep their guns, beat their women, and die young of starvation and disease. :facepalm:

Agreed...we helped push out the last guy and, as the result of democratic elections, got a guy who was worse.

Now, as usual, our inept government (both parties) don't know what to do or who to support but, we keep sending them our tax dollars to figure it out.

For that money, all we get is resentment from the citizens for interfering in their political process and their lives.

We should one day figure out that our culture and values don't translate around the world and that's OK. The US has a missionary mentality and fails to notice that no one is buying. How about if we try to focus on a place where people are suffering in our own country. You can fill in the blank with Detroit, Cleveland, a bunch of cities in California and most of the south.
