We cannot !!!
This was a coup by any definition, and we should call it that and go from there.
I realize nothing is quite that simple, especially in the mideast, but it is what it is.....I am amazed that we continue to fund this coup. We are ignoring killing any many countries of the mideast and now this....am very confused.
Not talking politics here because I do not think anyone has any easy solutions for this, but at least lets be honest about it.
You are right, we cannot simply change our definitions....this was a military coup.
