Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood calls for 'day of rage'

8. Do you want the Muslim Brotherhood to also have American heavy weapons and vehicles?

It's easy to criticize, but I've seen few proposals to actually solve the mess in Egypt.

Our choice is between military rule or the Muslim Brotherhood. There is no democratic, human rights supporting, peaceful third group for us to support.

Quite frankly, from a purely clinical view, I'd much rather have the military than Islamic fundamentalists, particularly seeing how the Muslim Brotherhood was forming anti-democratic institutions and cementing their unchallenged rule while they were in power. The coup did not come from nowhere and is arguably supported by a majority of Egyptians.

I would not be surprised if this devolved into a bloody civil war. That will not be be good for anyone - Egyptians, American, or stability in the entire region already beset by other conflicts.
