It really sucks that Egypt is going through this. They elected Morsi, but he has pretty much done a bad job as president. The economy has tanked and the crime rate is soaring. The constitution he, along with the Muslim brotherhood and military, put into place has definitely favored their own interests. The opposition has had their rights and representation minimalized and they feel they have no voice in their government. Things like this has led to morsi's approval rating declining and the protests that have occurred. What is astonishing is that there are more people protesting than people who actually voted for him.

As for today's events, it does not look good for Egypt. The arrests being made are going to force the Muslim brotherhood underground. It is never a good sign when 30% of your population feels they are being attacked. While I don't see a major civil war breaking out, I definitely see a possibility in a rise of terrorists attacks in Egypt.
