a good idea. This would send a positive message to arrogant governments everywhere.

all the ministries own you.

will it look like a penguin?

aren't they?

Lots of righteous indignation, shock and outrage, but one serious question not yet answered. And who better than the /. crowd to ask.
In real, practical terms, what can we actually, really do about this?

The Cardassians? I didn't know they had expanded out of the Alpha Quadrant!

On soviet Mars.......oh, never mind!

Ha, I can't argue with that!
As for details and citations, c'mon, this is slashdot!

Ha, if I relied on American news I wouldn't know a bloody thing! Thankfully I'm a European (of sorts). I never said the current situation was peaceful, or desirable. The coup was peaceful, but subsequently the opposing sides have started skirmishing, which is to be expected, and it does look like the army might be a bit more active than before in intervening. This is clearly not good. I also do have serious reservations about the principle of the army removing democratic governments. While I can't condone this, in this particular case it probably averted a civil war, so was the lesser of two evils. This is not a good situation at all, but that is not what my original post was about. I posted because half the preceding posts were full of ignorance and bigotry and it pissed me off, that's all.

By all objective measures Morsi's government were useless. The country was falling apart and none of the promises they made pre-election were being acted on. I don't claim to be intelligent, but like to think that my views are based on knowledge and understanding, not some idiotic racial/religious stereotyping.

...are the moronic A/Cs on /. who seem happy to denigrate the Egyptian people for celebrating the peaceful overthrow of a useless leader. The fact that the army has removed these incompetants and are immediately handing power back to the people is un-precedented and incredible. The Egyptian people and army could teach some other nations a thing or two, I think, not to mention some of the ignorant bigots who plague /.

Nope, but then this is /.

maybe it just wasn't worth the effort for such a small niche market.
