It's going seriously pear shaped. With Syria already in pieces and refugees piling into Jordan what would a civil war in Egypt mean for the region and the wider world?

Bit surely it must be ok. We supported the military coup of a democraticly elected government after all......

Yeah. I thought that was a BIG mistake. To be fair though we only supported it AFTER the army had deposed Morsi.

The west is helping tear apart the Arab world to strengthen Israel. Won't be too long before the Jews claim more land.

That would be a rational argument if Israel wasn't facing far bigger threats from Islamists emerging from the ruins of some of these formerly well disciplined states than they ever have. Seriously mate you have got a very skewed view on this.

Iran is more likely to benefit than Israel. The US was Egypts biggest friend when Mubarak was there...why allow him to get hoofed if you're right?

The US is run by Israel supporters as Governments there need the Jewish vote. A weakened Egypt will always benefit Israel. Division amongst Arabs is great news for Israel.

I doubt the Iranian people will see much benefit from this either.

Agree that US is far too interested in Jewish opinion and too friendly with Israel. It's not Jewish votes they want but rather Jewish money and favourable media.

True and true! It will all end in tears, and all in a part of the world where they are not afraid to use nuclear weapons. :nono:

Islam is the issue here though.

Let's not pretend that those they shot are probably the same ilk of people who have been persecuting the ancient Coptic christians of Egypt. A group of people who have been part of the fabric of Egypt far longer than the Muslims.
