IMO there is a difference between being a democratically-elected President and being an undemocratic President in creating/setting policy that goes completely against democracy which impacts the country and the people, which was the case with Morsi.
It was a coup but they indicated they will continue with another democratic process, I guess until they get it right. The change had resounding support of the people but not so much with the Islamists. I assume they will have another election and doubt if the muslim brotherhood candidate will do so well. Actually so far, so good, very little bloodshed hope it stays that way.
We have solid reasons to do what we can to ensure a stable Egypt. Suez Canal, Trade, Israel .... etc. It is very short sighted to think we can just ignore what goes on there.
Hows our foreign policy in the Middle East been working out the last 40 years? Or is 40 years too short sighted?

I heard someone use the term "democratic coup".
Egypt never lived under democracy. This is all new to them. Democracy is in it's infancy right now and it's going to take years to get it right.
It's like learning to ride a bike with training wheels and as you go along you take one training wheel off, then another, then you have to learn to balance the bike which seems to go in a direction of its own at times and eventually you learn how to control it.

The military deposed the elected leader of the country.
That's a coup no matter how you try to color it.
You are trying to compare Egypt to US style politics.

Our foreign policy is dictated by financial gains in Oil Industry ever since Oil was discovered in Saudi arabia and surrounding countries in 1930s. So it is like 80 years now.
