Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi |
Egypt's president Mohamed Morsi is facing a tough fight against Egyptians who refusing to live, again, under the rule of totalitarianism. Morsi was elected by Muslim Brotherhood supporters (which is not an overwhelming majority) but many people still believe Egypt should not be rule by a powerful dictator as Hosni Mubarrak. Over the past year, Morsi tweaked the Egyptian constitution, giving him more power. The protesters again took to the streets but met with some promises which Morsi didn't keep. Just recently, the president grew stronger by the minutes and sent a huge shockwave of panic among Eygptian who are again occupying the Tahrir Square to demonstrate their anger and frustration over the increasingly powerful president Morsi. They gave Morsi a 24 hour ultimatum to step down. That ultimatum, however, is gone and Morsi refuses to step down, and now the Egyptian military is stepping in asking Morsi to strike a deal or facing a military take over.
While Morsi still have time to consider this warning, it is too early for the US media to celebrate the Egyptian army's intervention because a military takeover of Egypt may be as worst as the government itself. In the past, the Egyptian military was nothing but a government's bulldog, carrying out the brutality of the Egyptian dictators from Nasar to Mubarrak. Any take over of the government by the military should be a huge cause for concern.
