Morsi is establishing an Islamic government, similar but not identical to Iran. Unlike Iran he does not control an armed revolutionary force to compete with and ultimately dominate the army. The Egyptian army is still a very powerful force that Morsi does not now control. However the army does not have the power or strength to depose Morsi. If the generals tried there would be a bloodbath. Eventually Morsi will have control of the military. The billions the US is giving them is wasted money.The Egyptian economy is so bad that Morsi will be shaking down the Saudis to finance Egypt and its armed forces. Lot of trouble ahead.
It will take a century or more for Egypt to recover from this madness, probably 3 to 4 generations at least. That is, if they do ever recover.
I think it is way past time to start the political discussion about Post-Islamicism, and what does it take to make that happen on the world stage, to have Islamicism removed from being a political power in governance. The destruction it causes on a world scale is immense.
But he does control them. Forgot about him firing the generals that opposed him and replacing them with generals loyal to the Muslim Brotherhood?
