Apparently, as I write this, a military coup d'etat is taking place in Egypt....very cleverly hidden under the cloak of civilians...very confused situation. President has no way to communicate with anyone; at moment streets are tense but peaceful - as no one really knows what is going on. Troop carriers are being deployed around Cairo center and other major cities. I'm NO fan of the Muslim Brotherhood [who were allied with the Nazis during WW2 and before], but I also do NOT see this as anything but a Giant Step away from rule by law and democracy - as Morssi won the election - even if he and his party did some very unpleasant things with the Constitution et al. Hang on...gonna be a long and bloody night, I fear....!...and next few days!
