   Chair still too brittle? Obviously due to a poor diet lacking calcium. They suckled at the teat of democracy and found it wanting. Morsi is like mastitis; My advice to the Egyptians is: careful teat care to prevent irritation, cracking and therefore leading to or requiring rioting. Wean slowly, over several years, rather than abruptly stop suckling. Bacteria like Morsi may require a further curse of antibiotics which proved effective against Mubarak.

   Good thing O has no backbone to go in there to help out the Egyptian people. But then again if we did, the people would find a way to hate us even MORE! Double edge sword if I’ve ever seen one.

   What’s “O” got to do with it? Backbone is not lacking – POWER is. Just as well – we don’t need ANY more military engagement with anybody, least of all Islamists. IMA – you’re welcome to saddle up, strap on your shootin’ iron, and whup ‘em into line, if you’re so “backbony”.

   I agree with you. The news stories about whether the new constitution has been adopted or not have been a bit confusing, and gricks is right about the judges.

   The attempted hijacking of the Egyptian Revolution isn’t sitting well.

   It takes a fair amount of self restraint to ignore the stupidity of those comments.

    I like our guys better. Democracy doesn’t work when you have a bunch of brainwashed Islamists as your electorate.

    ‘Give him a couple of more weeks,’
    My aquarium required a few weeks for the nitrogen cycle to allow the good bacteria to settle. There’s also bad bacteria. Constant testing required to ensure the bad doesn’t take hold. Methinks the protests in Cairo tell us they’re testing.
