actaully it isn't a diversion i forgut what i wanted ot say about that topic. besides during the revolution mubarak resisted US pressure, if he didn't he would have made omar solieman president for the transitional period instead of the army. You might not like it but generally the egyptain army was ordered by mubarak regime to opress protesters but it refused. Also police used live ammunition so you saying that the usa stopped that, please enlighten me how the USA stopped the police from being brutal when the police was very brutal arresting alot tortuing using live munition tear gas is that what the USA stopped the police doing |
If they would of went any stronger, they would of faced heavy problems from the US. As for the military refusing... I mean, your from Egypt.
You should know better then anybody that the military is like... 500,000 people strong. The various paramilitary, police and intellegence agencies greatly outnumber it.
He didn't need the military.
This does illustrate though why everybody from conservatives to liberals were upset with how reserved Obama was early, even when he had behind the scenes been pushing for him to step down shortly after the protests started.
