Looks like Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood went too far with his conservative agenda and the people are enraged. Millions in Tahrir Square?
Wow...

Meanwhile, there are several hundred thousand pro-Morsi protestors in the streets as well. This could get ugly.

Military to speak in a little bit. I hope everyone takes a step back from violence and listens.

Protesters in Egypt certainly have Obama on their minds. The $1 Billion in aid we recent sent over to Egypt has apparently really helped our foreign policy efforts.

I see Egypt has it's teabaggers too. Only those ones can spell better English than ours.

In that battle both sides are ruthless dictators. So, in a way, they are right. You also need to remember-----They are also fighting Theocracy. They don't want their country run by religious zealots. And, I don't blame them. "Holymen on a mission from God" seem to be just about the worst form of dictator their is. They have a terrible track record.

I'm curious to see what comes of it if the military takes control and ousts both Morsi and The Muslim Brotherhood.

Because most military juntas end up bearing a close resemblence to Communism.

Egypt could be screwed no matter which way they turn.
