It shows that the United States supported the coup, by giving them such massive amounts of money after their takeover.

So, your second paragraph is basically, revolutions = violent, therefore revolutions = bad? Is that seriously your logic? That's ignoring the torture initiated by Mubarak, especially post 9/11, and the Egyptian government's highly repressive policies. 

No, my logic is revolution CAN be violent but it isn't always violent and the image posted by Valdath is silly as it seems to grant a great deal of culpability on the US for revolutionary movements that can be traced back to more homegrown movements inspired during the Arab Spring.

I admit I am no expert on Middle East politics but thus far, this is the impression I'm getting.

Actually, revolution almost has to be violent, because those in power are not going to willingly give it up. There are acceptions, like in Eastern Europe, but that happened because the politicians greatly benefited from the privatisation of industries, so they gained a lot of money in doing so.
