Egypt, s, was not and is not "ours" to lose. Your comment is an example of the worst sort of American chauvinism.
And your comment displays a lack of knowledge of history. The USA spent hundreds of billions in tax payer money to keep Egypt as an ally, trained, educated, fed, and care for it's citizens for several decades.
Now, it seems it has been lost to the backward Islamist movement.
Watch for Egyptian antiquities to be destroyed because they are offensive to Mohammed, women rights to be stripped, and the life expectancy to drop.

Pretty stupid, eh?!
"Now, it seems it has been lost to the backward Islamist movement."
Says who? Not the Egyptians I know, though they are all Copts and Orthodox. Maybe they are ignorant of Egyptian history too, not being Americans and all.
