How very tragic this activist has died trying to seek freedoms for Egyptians we Americans so often take for granted. It is a forgone conclusion more will yet suffer in Egypt as her people struggle to move forward on the road towards democracy.
For all those that are threatened by Obama, come vent your frustrations, it’s good therapy for you to get it out.
We must not forget that men we revere now as champions of democracy, like Washington and Lincoln, were called dictators by many in their time. On the flipside, men like Robespierre and Hitler were originally democratically elected as well.
For those of us on the sidelines, all we can do is watch, and hope, and if we're religious, pray. For the sake of the Egyptian people, the stability of the region, and the future of democracy in these ousted dictatorships, we hope that Morsi and his administration will resist the temptations of absolute power and rule Egypt justly.
"Democracy is the worst form of government in the world...except for everything else that's been tried." - Winston Churchill
When Americans say "Democracy" to other countries they usually mean Capitalism which is not at all Democratic.
Democracy is a messy business. As we've been reminded here in the U.S. Messy as it is it is better than Syria, Libya, etc.
Pinch me - didn't the Muslim Brotherhood say they would not run for office during the original uprising? Just sayin'...
Thank you Windancersong-1494878 for your comment. Borders should not separate people to the extent that one thinks only of the border and not the person. This man was our brother in this world, a brave brother at that...religion does not matter either, he wanted the rights and freedoms that, as Windancersong said, we take for granted.
For the rest - making comments that have nothing to do with this pictorial - remember that some of us have Egyptian friends or family. What Mursi is doing is making grown men cry as they fear for their family - it is nothing to be laughed at, please.
So much for that Arab Spring.
Obama's foreign policy is yet another example of an epic failure.
To the Egyptian Protesters. Now is the time to fight Morsi, before the military is totally populated by members of Muslim Brotherhood.
