Well the question was..who is right and who is wrong in what is happening in Egypt.

I think you and I agree a coup took place....but we are not calling it such. The coup was against the Muslim brotherhood who was elected in a surprise.

We got ourselves in a jam on this, with more to come I am afraid. As one of our politicians said recently....we HAD influence..did not use it. Time to call it what is...a coup and cut off the money. Will cause different problems but I do not think we want to be seen backing a coup, especially in the ME
