Yes I was in favor of the Arab Spring toppling dictators and well aware that this could lead to Islamists running the country. But Dag, this is kinda bold. Those who underestimated Mr Morsi should consult the seven bruised generals who are now beginning their compulsory “retirement”, including Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, formerly the armed forces commander and Egypt’s de facto ruler since the revolution last year. So the top dog and all the heads of the military services got sent packing. It seems that they were offered the chance to go now and live off their ill-gotten gains or stay and face the wrath of the Muslim Brotherhood. So they loaded up the trucks and they moved to Dubai, the sand that is. It needs to get worse in order to get better. The crazy thing is that the worser the sooner may be the better. But it is gonna suck for a while.
