We also, despite the crocodile tears support the repressive government.
Why now do we start whining about the benefits of Democracy!
The democracy we planted in Iraq has produced some twisted and deformed offspring....so it shall probably be in Egypt.

The Egyptian people should be left to determine their own future, but the joke is, that we really hate true democracy or anything approaching it.

Western Democracy is a misnomer......it is a series of manipulations effected by an electoral system.....there can be no real democracy while economic and social pressures are being brought to bear on the electorate.
I cite how we the people, ar referred to as being culpable in the recent capitalist systemic failure, without being in possesion of any of the facts of the case.
Already the US is at work organising a "suitable" government for the Egyptian people!
