I don't see how they'll ever reach a reasonable compromise between secular liberals and Islamic fundamentalists.

Seems to be a problem everywhere.

Typically, someone proposes genocide and then they endeavor to carry it out until the UN bombs the hell out of them or we arm the other side.
There was an editorial in the newspaper today written by the leader of Egypt's Constitution Party that I thought was interesting: http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentaries/214073741.html Things have apparently really fallen apart in the last year - murders are up 130%, robberies are up 350%, kidnappings are up 145%. One line in particular said, "The executive branch has no clue how to run Egypt. It’s not a question of whether they are Muslim Brothers or liberals — it’s a question of people who have no vision or experience. They are simply not qualified to govern."
In reply to stuart in mn: From the media coverage i've seen, looks to me like Morsi and his government received numerous warnings from the Military brass to get their act together and chose to ignore it at best.. To me it seems like the Morsi government isn't filled with the best and the brightest Egypt has to offer..
Seems the Muslim Brotherhood didn't get its act together. Hope Egypt gets it right this time, Obama backed the MB's, and now he's hated there too.
< tinfoil hat >
It's all a CIA-sponsored effort to get back at Morsi for having screwed up the Benghazi abduction!
< runs >
The AP has called it for the Army: Morsi is in custody.
From the first news story I found online:
The military has vowed to defend its people "against any terrorist, radical or fool.”
That seems to be a big problem these days, there are too many fools around.
thas all I gots
I hate politics btw

I just think they don't know what they want but like protesting.
Why Morsi is in Trouble from a leader of the youth demonstrations June 30th.
"So the question became whether to boycott the elections or vote for Morsi, who represented the lesser of two evils."
Sounds like most of our elections.
Also sounds like they need to go to a system like we had here for the first few elections. The person with the most votes gets to be President, and the person in 2nd place is Vice President.
They love us for our freedom. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-07-02/guest-post-egyptians-love-us-our-freedom
(You won't be seeing those protest banners on CNN.)
"Morsi’s supporters counter that he was democratically elected not even a year ago and needs more time to institute his reforms."
That sounds familiar too.
