Deadly clashes erupt in Egypt provinces.

13. WTF?

Government by representation means that the electorate must live with the decisions it makes when it puts people into office. Would people on this site have supported a military coup against GWB and the Cheney gang, on the basis that their military policies were too extreme? Not even though Bush was barely elected/not elected/whatever for the first term.

I would sure like to know what specific 'barbarism' had been perpetrated by Morsi during the portion of his term he actually served. There were steps taken toward a less secular government, for sure, and he did make some foolish decisions that rubbed certain people the wrong way, but there was certainly no barbarism involved.

The moment the military deposed Morsi Egypt took a great step backwards. He was the legitimately elected president of the country during a period of transition from military to civilian rule. Now it's back to military rule and the 'barbarism' has nothing to do with any religion - it's the 'secular' military making it very clear that it's in charge, by killing an awful lot of people.

Oh - and I'm an atheist, so I'm definitely not biased in favor of any religious persuasion.
