[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I agree that Bangladesh, Egypt and even Afghanistan may want an outlet for the opposition at the table, but the Muslim Brotherhood were not taking Egypt in a great direction as far as I can tell. In that part of the world, with its weak weak institutions, might still makes right and the brotherhood rolled the dice and lost. Could Egypt be less heavy handed? Would the Brotherhood treat their vanquished the same way were roles reversed?

You can't claim to support democracy and then support coups when democracy doesn't go your way. When we profess values to which we don't adhere, we can't expect others to believe those are really our values.

Don't worry - I'm over supporting democracy just for the sake of. Hitler came to power in a democracy. People actually need to have the right conditions for democracy to actually function the way we understand it. I am OK with countries having the better of two bad alternatives as they sort their way to something better. Venezuela is a 'democracy' and the people are starving.[/quote]
