In reply to the discussion: Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood calls for 'day of rage' [View all]branford
(4,462 posts)If you bothered to fully read my comments, you would understand that I "like" neither the Egyptian military nor the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm Jewish and support Israel. I can only imagine what either of these parties think of me. Who, exactly, do I owe this purported "blind partisanship?"
More importantly, "supporting democracy" in no way means you have to agree or ally with the winner. Having an election does not guaranty yours, mine or America's support. This is most certainly true if the elected party proceeds to change laws and subvert the judiciary in blatantly undemocratic ways to ensure their continued undemocratic hegemony.
I do not like that anyone is needlessly suffering. However, MB members are hardly all non-violent victims in this ongoing tragedy, as the Coptic Christians and their smoldering churches can readily attest, and I stand by my analysis that the military is preferable to the MB if true democracy ever hopes to be achieved in Egypt.
