Yes, it's a big irony. Only the masters, that is the US,
have the right to strike, but the slaves or the subordinates
cannot.
The reason UAE and Egypt did not inform the US
is that they lost trust of the US. So, a better strategy
is for the US is to try to regain back their trust, rather
than rebuking them. Moreover, this scolding will just embolden
the islamist militias in Lybia.
Now, the US wants to build a coalition to confront ISIS.
Good luck if any Arab country will join, after all
the bullying they get from the US administration.
The US administration should learn from George Bush
the Senior of how to win over Arab countries, and build a coalition.
To the people he is a hero, because he saved them from Morsy's rule, and the Moslem Brotherhood (MB). Like Ataturk, George Washington, etc.
You may wonder: is that such a big deal. I say yes. The MB rule, not only was a disaster. It was a period of free fall. These are every exclusive minded group (in a way secret organization), whose goal was only to promote the group at the expense of the country, treating all non-MB people as second class citizens. They were in the process of dismantling all major institutions of the country and installing MB-based ones, to perpetuate their own rule. Same mentality as Hamas (which are part of global MB).
The referendum results are true, and not rigged. Why are they so high? Because many islamists boycotted it. Without the boycott, it would have gotten about 80 %. I know people who did vote this time, and they mentioned that all the queue was talking about saying yes. Moreover, election monitors attended the vote count.
This is not a coup. It is the second wave of the 2011
revolution. Egypt is still in a revolutionary fervor.
When Morsi started behaving like an autocrat and jailing his opponents, the people rose up to him in June 30 and beyond,
with millions of protesters on the streets. Had the
army not intervened, it would have led to a civil war,
or to an outright storming of the presidential palace and
ripping Morsi to pieces. I was there and saw it all.
Excellent article.
Also, where was the US pressure when Morsi
was jailing people and committing undemocratic practices.
Is that double standard or what?

Good analogy with Bonaparte.
That's a very accurate analysis. democracy does not come with a switch of a button, but is a lengthy process of trial and error.

I agree. They were pampering and cuddling
Morsi's government. They lost all credibility in my mind.
Good point!
