The army is the only possible source for stability in Egypt. Like most of that region they need a strong man to run the show. Otherwise the islamist filth rises and unleashes medieval horror on the rest of society. Therefore in my mind Army = ‘good’, muslim brotherhood and their supporters = evil.
After the Reichstag fire, the German army sat on its hands and enabled the Nazis’ seizure of all power with horrific consequences for the whole world. Faced with a similar situation, the Egyptian army acted with real courage and foresight and did the opposite of what the German army did. It looks like the Russians and Chinese, with their horrific experiences at the hands of the Nazis and Imperial Japanese, have a much better sense of tragic history than the Regime and The Mahdi do.
