Egyptian Security Forces Storm Pro-Morsi Camps Leaving Nearly 100 Dead
After weeks of protesting the ousting of Morsi (forming encampments in Cairo during that time), the Egyptian security forces forcibly broke up the protesters' camps early this morning. Things quickly turned violent, leaving around one hundred people dead, including at least two journalists. The interim President has also declared an indefinite state of emergency, "allowing security forces to arrest and detain civilians indefinitely without charge." The AP reports that clashes are not isolated to Cairo: "Dozens of people have been killed across Egypt Wednesday in clashes between security forces and supporters of Morsi."
The election was flawed inthe first place and rushed.
The way it was setup insured there were only 2 choices. Center and left was fractured while the right was united through a single radical muslim. So the rule of 2 applied where you had a former Mabarik henchman corrupt or a radical muslim and no further candidates? If you were Egyptian who would you vote for?
A dictator under corrupt American imperialist or freedom from a religious group who is fanatical, yet was not part of the old boss club?
American anology would be Pat Robertson who promises a Christian theocracy or King George III who promises a return to the old? Wouldnt must of you protest too?
These are what the post Morsi protests to ask the army to remove him were about? Majority of Egyptians oppose Morsi like the majority of Americans and Floridians voted for Al Gore, yet Harris threw out enough ballots to tip it to Bush combined with Electoral College caused the anti Bush bias you see and divided country. Egypt is the same. Divided with one group thinks its legit and the other feels robbed.
Libya is fine and done right
Sour fucking grapes.
Grow up. Every review after the fact showed Bush won Florida.
And heaven forbid Gore's efforts to lawyer his way to the Presidency when he was behind in the vote count were classless and divisive. Oh, that can't be it at all. Here's a hint: when you're given a lesson how to handle yourself with class in a close election you lost under questionable circumstances by the behavior of RICHARD FUCKING NIXON, you're a divisive classless hack.
