    So much for DEMOCRATIC government.

    Didn't Morsi want to suspend the Constitution because of the turmoil?

    Well, he thought of it, and the Armed Forces removed Morsi, then suspended the Constitution...

    That is what they call a slight of hand... Abracadara!

    I wonder what role, if any, al Qaeda played in the al-Qāhirah uprising this time around? Al Qaeda and al-Qāhirah (Cairo) sure sound and look similar? Phonetically speaking, of course.
