All over for Morsi?

Re: All over for Morsi?

Well, that’s nonsense. Mr Morsi had a term limit. Mubarak did not. Mr Morsi was elected. Mubarak was not. True, Mr. Morsi was a horrible politician. That does not make him an autorcrat, especially when the opposition refused to work with him. True, he played cheap political tricks, but in all honesty it was to counter other cheap political tricks.

The bottom line is that the fault is not with Mr Morsi, but that the Egyptian political setup was a joke. I mean, you have liberals, salafists, former Mubarak supporters all in the same mob demanding the ouster of someone who was not their man. I would suggest the outcome would be the same regardless of who was in power.

Hijacked reovlution? A revolution often ushers in another poltical body…there’s typically some idea of what the new order ought to be. In Egypt, all the people know is what they don’t want…and they’re dogged in that. That does not bode well for their political future.
