Army gives Morsi 48 hours to address the opposition's concerns. Tahrir Square is jam packed.

The Brotherhood aim is Sharia. Everyone knows this. The fact that Morsi won a fair election only complicates things.

A coup is on its way.

I think this is terrible and puts a chill across the entire arab spring.

I hope and pray for a peaceful resolution. Perhaps it can end up for the best.

Perhaps not a bad thing in this instance. Then again ...

Does anyone not believe if there were demonstrations of this magnitude in the USA against an ineffective government, the military would not make a similar suggestion?

Just be kept quiet!

No. Our military (or National Guard) may well step in, but in support of the administration who ordered it to do so. In Egypt, the military seems to be supporting the demonstrators, not the administration.

I edited my original post to include "infective" when mentioning the government. I believe that if similar circumstances were to ever happen here the military may well sit on their hands if asked by the government to intervene. Letting it be know your on your own.

Theocracy needs to be stamped out everywhere it tries to sow its oppressive and poisonous seed................

Including the United States.

They are chosing between an oppressive government and another potentially oppressive government.

I would just leave that frigging madhouse.
