Don’t forget the people more radical than Morsi, the Salafists, who are Al Qaeda like and growing in numbers. The secular liberals in the streets are noisy but a small part of the overall population. Yes Morsi is losing support, but in part he’s losing it to more extreme elements. Is Morsi really all that bad for US interests? He hasn’t moved to aggressively confront Israel, he hasn’t radically realigned Egyptian foreign policy. His internal policies stink, but what concern is that of ours?

Morsi is terrible to US interests. He and the Muslim Brotherhood are abject fundamental Islamics. The Muslim Brotherhood and others gave birth to Al Quida. MOrsi was up to his eyeballs in the attack in Benghazi and helping funnel arms to Al Quida elements in the Syrian revolution...not to mention the release of the blind Shiek.

Becuase of the support he is getting from Obama, he is moving along at a speed to ensure he retains that support...but far too many of his own people are not having it.

Last weekend when 14 million marched against him, the vast, vast majority were people wanting a more secular society and an end to the developing Islamic fundamentalism. Very few in those crowds represented interests that are even more fundamental than Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Egyptian military is the lynch pin in this, and I believe they are going to come down (as has been indicated by today's announcements) on the side of a much less extreme, much more secular society, much more similar to Mubarreck.

And that, along with all of those people demanding he step down, I believe is going to lead to MOrsi's neutering...and that, along with the institution of a more secular oriented governance there, will be a good thing for the future.

This is the piece that’s never discussed. They are calling for Morsi’s ouster because he’s not extreme ENOUGH.
