For what? indeed. Where the blight on this planet that is fundamentalist Islam rears its ugly head, utter madness ensues:

The muslim brotherhood will not go down without an all out war, the present scenario is what a few of us feared when Morsi became president, but it is not only Egypt it is across the arab states - Global islamic rule is their end game at any cost. I feel so sorry for the ordinary Egyptian who thought their fight for democracy (and it was a hard one) would benefit all the country.
I listened to a spokesman for the Brotherhood last night, whose 17 year old daughter was among the dead yesterday. He basically said she’s a martyr to the cause – so that’s alright then. Where the brotherhood is concerned, life is cheap, death in the name of Allah is an honour, and individual freedom is not a consideration. A backward and chilling philosophy.
the people did have their say, but they were not getting remotely what was promised, if anything Morsi was imposing ever more strict rules and laws, why would anyone be surprised by that fact. The Muslim Brotherhood is not a benign charitable organisation, it never was, they have an agenda which if left unchecked would likely have seen women donning the burkha, veil where many had not before, and men being dictated to over their life style, dress and indeed anyone not of the Islamic faith would be not just unwelcome but actively suppressed.

/// If Morsi had been prepared to be President for ALL the country, for ALL the people, then this would never have happened. ///
How could that ever happen, we have the same problems in our Western democracies, the majority party may win the election but that doesn't mean everyone is happy about it, the difference being though we don't resort to violence.
I didn't like the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood won their election, but since that was the majority's choice, they should have been allowed to rule until such times another election took place.

Good point, AOG. The economy doesn't change overnight, whatever the impression the voters have of what will happen if they elect a new government. And the new one may be worse than they expected, in other ways. But mature democracies like ours are adjusted to such disappointments, and the voters are more cynical about apparent promises. Egypt has had no such experience before.
