Here's the thing though.
Yes, it's a democratically elected government, but it's far from having any semblance of liberty.
What good is having someone voted in if they treat the people like slaves?
thats why i was asking how he was voted in. doesnt seem to make sense for people to vote for a guy that treats them as such. was it fraudulent voting? false promises (not unlike our country)? or some other reason altogether? or does over half the country really believe hes the best guy for the job? the protestors numbers would suggest thats not the case.
From my understanding, Morsi was very popular around the time of the first revolt. He was on TV often, organizing protests, etc and the people were trusting him. But after the election, he reserved a bunch of powers that were not written into the constitution, effectively making him President for life and a tyrant.
This was a big part of the current coup now.
Watching the news this morning and I can't help but think about our old buddy Galen.
Egypt is a disaster right now. I never thought it would ever be this bad.
That is all wonderful and everything but Egypt was not set up for elections. There was only one national organization of any kind, the Muslim Brotherhood. Only Islamic Fundamentalism was organized for this national election, and they won. Then Morsi was on his way to quickly becoming a dictator.
The only way they will have elections that matter is to first develop national parties.
