That can only be because like so many unsubtle people who cannot think more than one or two steps ahead, you are unaware that world events are not generally influenced by screaming on a bullhorn.
Yeah..we tried that with Benghazi but saying "It's the video stupid" over and over for 2 weeks didn't cut it.
This remains none of our business. The only matter of concern to Americans is whether the name of the deposed president is spelled with an "i" or a "y". Who really knows?
We're hip deep with funding the army and who knows what else is being done covertly.
The military has taken over the Al Jazeera offices and arrested people. So much for freedom of the press.
Al Jazeera is owned by Qatar Royal Family and they are big friends of Muslim Brotherhood. It will be very interesting to see reaction of Saudi Arabia now.
You don't need freedom of the press at this moment. You need to get the gangsters out of office who hide behind the veneer of faith and dogma that can be manipulated. The people want the Brotherhood gone...Not all military coups are evil. I just hope that the officers in charge are loyal to the citizens of Egypt. Think of it...no matter what a devout Muslim you are - You will never fully except the beheading or hanging of another human being under the pretense and justification of offending GOD...Logic dictates God can not be offended...I say- get the bastards out of there..
Would Americans tolerate a government supposedly sanctioned by GOD? Of course not...because it it impossible to speak on behalf of the all mighty..Egypt will do well- They have lasted for 6 thousand years..this is just a blip in their history.
You do so need freedom of the press right now, to avoid atrocities and keep people accountable.
I can understand the hatred aimed at our leadership here in the usa...they hate Obama. Can you blame them after we helped the radical Muslim Brotherhood gain power and then called and congratulated Morsi? What a fantastic job O has done in improving the US's relationships around the world....pfttttt
The hatred is deep seeded and has more to do with the US supporting a regime that for decades enriched themselves in a nation where over half the people live below the poverty level. We didn't help the Muslim Brotherhood, we just cut our losses with Mubarack. The Egyptians had seen enough and he was going to be gone with or without our support, that's how democracy works.
Continue reading the article. The WH concerns were about the army relinquishing power after elections.
Valid concerns. Don't you think?

That's a value? It sounded more like a concern.
The values of self determination on the other hand... those appear to have been upheld without hesitation.

Actually yes. Several times. Go to the State Department's website and search on "Coptic." You'll find we've been working actively on the issue for at least the last three years.

Saudi Arabia already has congratulated the temporary head of the new government. There is no love for the MB with the Saudis.

I'm talking about the recent killings under Morsi.
Not even a mention of withholding our money until they fixed their problems.
The State Department Annual Report on International Religious Freedom doesn't even list Egypt as a nation of concern.
