In reply to the discussion: Highlights from Egypt, Dec 5 2012 (Part 2) [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)15. So sad. I suppose we should never have thought that the Western nations would
ever have stayed out of Egypt's affairs after they lost their friend and ally, Mubarak.
It is way too strategic to their interests to allow the people to decide how their country should be run.
The people probably do not know who to trust anymore. El Baradei seems trustworthy but no matter who is elected there, they will be under a lot of pressure from the West which is probably what happened with Morsi.
Thanks for following this, Catherina ...
