Egypt has had four presidents since the 1952 revolution. In backwards order, they are: Mubarak, Sadat, Nasser, and Naguib.

I had never heard of Naguib, so I looked him up on Wikipedia:

In late 1954, however, Nasser accused Naguib of supporting the recently outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and of harbouring dictatorial ambitions. A brief power struggle broke out between Naguib and Nasser for control of the military and of Egypt. Nasser ultimately won the struggle and managed to force Naguib to resign from the presidency of Egypt in November 1954.

Egypt has been struggling to keep the Muslim Brotherhood out of power since 1954. They just lost the struggle.

They didn’t just lose he struggle. They were set up.

Obama helped set them up.

What an absolute shame. All the attempts to civilize the country, i.e., bring it into the 21st century - hospitals, medicine, university education, media, basic infrastructure, some free market principals, opportunities for education for women, the peace with Israel - all will regress now. . as the Islamic tyranny takes hold. All because of the green light from Obama.
