    There's a lot more going on there than the media is reporting.

    I bet. I saw that "No leave" list. Are people bouncing out or is this the beginning of a big fight?

    Apparently the latter

    You can't completely shut the brotherhood out of the process. No matter how you look at this, they have a ton of support. If democracy really is the goal here, they have to have a voice. But what happens when that voice is advocating violence and not respecting the process that gave them power in the first place? That goes for all parties concerned.

    This brings up the philosophical question that we, the west, have been debating forever now. Do you prop up a douchebag strongman that can maintain order with a strong fist, or do we assist or back off and let a legit revolution take place?

    Of course many people would jump at #2. But there comes a point when you have to think about the greater implications here. This isn't some compartmentalized backwater.

    Whatever happens, I hope they find some peace and this doesn't last forever.
