The people rebelled because the IMF made the Morsi Govt bring in austerity. Western imperialism is behind the destabilisation of the Middle East. They ( military industrial complex)want to own and control just about everything and everyone.

According to Webster Tarpley, Morsi also wanted to attack Syria and the Military decided he had to go.

So what happens next, asks Graham innocently. He knows as well as I do.

The U.S. will use its aid to manipulate and control Egypt to ensure that it provides no present or future threat to Israel becoming the American proxy in the Middle East.

The U.S. is also moving into Africa bigtime so that it gains major control there as well.

The U.S. is swallowing the world nation by nation using force, bribes, threats of nuclear annihilation, duplicity, etc.

Who will bell the cat?

Anybody who thinks that US support for right wing dictators is misplaced, should have a look at Egypt.

A right wing Egyptian dictator who wanted peace with Israel (Sadat) gets assassinated by home grown terrorists who most definitely do not want a peace deal with Israel. Another right wing dictator (Mubarak) takes over and gives the country stability for twenty years and maintains the peace with Israel. Economy wise, there is not much the dictator can do. Not when you have a population of dimwits who insist on having six or eight kids even though their economy is moribund, primarily because it is hamstrung by an idiotic death cult religion.

But the same sort of trendy lefties who infest western societies finally demand that the army under Mubarak stop being the government and hold elections. The elections put into power a bunch of religious fanatics who seem to have the support of most of the electorate, and the ratbags who demanded democracy in a country full of religious fanatics end up worse off.

The religious fanatics know how to stuff up a country but have no idea how to run a country, so the economy, sinks, tourism is destroyed, whatever secular rights the Gyppoes had get wound back even further. Finally the characters who started off complaining about the army in government, start praying that the army takes over again and give them back the freedoms they lost.

As to whether western countries should interfere in dysfunctional ones, hey, if you saw an idiot boy child with a loaded gun, wouldn't you take it off him?

LEGGO – You are spot on with your observations.

Wasn’t it Morsi or one of the Muslim Brotherhood who wanted to cover
the Pyramids with some kid of wax so the tourists couldn’t see them.
Talk about bizarre ideas. This fight between fundamentalist nutters and more sane thinking Muslims is one
that is going to have to take place in the Middle East sooner or later, if the Middle East is to stop stagnating.
It is just inevitable, no matter what the rest of the world does or doesn’t do.

Arjay-
The West is not behind the destabilization of the Middle East

The 16th century thinking of it's fundamentalist Muslim Leadership is,
People in these countries are just reaching a point where they
want more sensible Muslim rule and cannot be expected to live under
the insane dictates of some of these Muslim leaders, who seem to be
quite delusional and completely out of touch with every day life.

So much so that they have all but shut down the tourist industry
in Egypt leaving people without any means of making a living to
feed their families. Once you start to have economic instability
then you have people protesting in the streets in the Middle East
the same as in Europe.

What else but chaos in the lands about Egypt, what else would you expect with having a professional pubescent in the White House? All of it is going to hell in a hand-basket. At least there is unanimity, any and every side hates the US now.
