Very inspiring to see that they staged the largest public peaceful protest the other day (30 million people I believe) in history, and as a result of this they achieved political change, got the leader to resign, instead of having to wait years for another election. They're schooling us on how the people can get what they want out of government.

you should do your homework. the military ousted and then arrest Morsi and his cabinet. He never resigned. Still, all in all I'm glad the Egyptian military stepped in and removed him before he went full dictator.


I'm not crazy, everyone else is.

Synonymous really, the outcome was the same. After 30 million people take to the streets you don't have many other options but to give them what they want, it's the rawest form of democracy. I agree with you tbh, all things considered over the past few years I think the Egyptian military has behaved pretty admerabely, they've kept relative peace without seeking to take advantage of power.

They aren't Synonymous at all, one would suggest a willing departure the other doesn't, and in this case Morsi's extremist followers are using violence because of his forced departure from the office.
