Egyptian President Mursi to Field Marshal Tantawi: "You are fired !"

[Dereich]

Dead0man's opposition to the subjection of the military to civilian rule is really terrifying in light of the fact that he's part of the Armed Forces.

I in no way think the US Military should be in charge of the US.  I hope civilian rule works out in Turkey and Egypt.  I'm certainly not against it, but it does concern me as it should concern anybody that wants peace in the middle east.

Government by an elite unchosen by the people only amounts to a ceasefire and radicalizes civilian opponents to peace. You can only have true peace when you either force it by long brutal occupation or by the consent of an elected government.
