Morsi my two cents
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 12:57 pm
Supporting Morsi and the MB by bashing on Mubarak is like justifying cocaine by pointing to crack and saying its worse.
The People brought down Mubarak. And it is the People holding the MB from becoming a full copy cat.
The MB went after a very corrupt judiciary. That is true. That does not mean the Qatar backed MB is less corrupt. In fact Morsi has kept much of the Mubarak bureaucracy where it suits him. The MB also controls some crowds who give them unconditional support no matter that they are doing. You can see a lot of that with Obama cultist as well who will support him even when he does the same things Bush did who they had opposed. Its simple identity politics not ideology. However a constitution was needed and the judiciary it seems needed to be gutted to do that however the driving force for a constitution was the people on the street not the MB's benevolence. However the new one is just being written by the MB and the people are not going to stand for that either. Count the days before they storm the palace Iceland style.
Things are better for Egypt and for Palestine. Not because the old regime was replaced by the MB who has very close relations with the CIA as well as the FSA both terrorist organizations, but because the Egyptian people are holding their governments feet to the fire. That is not because of democracy magic. It is because they now have the ability to organize because of online social media and alternative media which in the past was never available. For a very long time Egypt was subsidized by the US essentially payed to look the other way to Israel aggression. The US really got nothing out of the Mubarak arrangement. The real economy was not subsidized however as that money never trickled down. All they did was further enrich dictatorial plutocrats. So Egypt's economy could stand on its own but Morsi is going to the IMF for more loans anyway. He wants to repeat Mubarak.
That is my two cents.
