Boiling Clusterfuck in Egypt...

So yesterday we have Muslim Brotherhood thugs throwing teenage Morsi opponents off roof tops while waving AlQaeda flags and today we have Egyptian Police/Military opening fire on Morsi supporting protestors.

Step 1. Subdue the MB
Step 2. gather the brightest minds to write a workable constitution.

Egypt is on a billion peoples bucket lists. It needs a secular society that welcomes all to visit their historic home. Tourism revenue is a God (Allah) send that benefits the whole country.

We got it right the first time out because we had experience with all the wrong answers before we waged war for independence.

as our "first time," and I think the consensus seems to be that these didn't work out so well, hence the (second) Constitutional Convention.

It's tragic though, what's happening in Egypt. I don't see how anybody benefits from all this violence.
