Egypt- Morsi grants himself 'far-reaching' powers

[RoadVirus]

The people of Egypt had a chance to elect someone who would lead them into the 21st century as a democracy. But instead, they chose the Muslim Brotherhood.

You dumbasses deserve what you got!

So much for the "democracy" Morsi claimed to have wanted in Egypt. Later, "Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi has told a crowd of supporters that he "cannot control legislative power". He made the comments after he passed a decree granting himself sweeping powers. "....

BBC News - Mursi: 'I can't control legislative power'

It Must Have Been an Interesting Discussion
That's Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh on the left and Mohammed Morsi the President of Egypt on the right.​

If USA does not pay tribute on time other players will step in.
In fact, Egypt already signed financial deals with regional countries (Saudi-Arabia, Turkey) and institutions like EU, IMF.

We all know the board-game Risk, and Egypt is a winning-card.
Obama has no option other than taking credit from China and giving it to Egypt, independent of personalities (Mubarak, Morsi etc).
Egypt has serious problems on economical front and it has not yet switched camps by applying to China (lesser degree Russia) to help them.

So? We've been here before hello, how armed Nasser?

You posted like this is all some new paradigm, it isn't.

The new paradigm is, that the US government hasn't any money to give away, and that the money you're giving away isn't really your money and pilesup as a burden on your children.
In the past this was different.

Why do people want to be dictators and hurt their own people? Why not build up their country into a great power instead of tearing it down.

It is very apparent that the Morsi government has personal reasons as well to usurp the judiciary. The stability they seek is through a sharia based constitution. The capital Morsi has garnered through negotiating the true in Gaza will be a short term effect.

"We need stability," said Murad Ali. "That's not going to happen if we go back again to allowing the judges, who have personal reasons, to dissolve the constituent assembly in order to prolong the transitional phase."

Egypt protesters tear-gassed as world concern mounts . Unrest.

No constitution should force anyone to follow a religion. At least not one that silences people.

 

[Sunni Man]

Hopefully, the Morsi government will institute Sharia law for all of Egypt.

 

[ScienceRocks]

As long as it doesn't force anyone to follow anything against their will.

I will always fight against evil. Evil needs to be wiped out and removed from this planet for the good of humanity!

Power and arrogance. Like all central planners, they're just SURE they know what's best for everyone else. The idea of individuals making their own choices in free markets affords them no opportunity to gain power. Whatever name they're referred to, central planners are everywhere. It matters not that they've all been proven incapable of increasing wealth for anyone but themselves, they still think they're control of others is required. Sadly, many sheeple believe them.

that has absolutely no practical affect on the situation, we give money to various countries ( like Israel) causes here and abroad.....no one asks where the money comes from in that context or worries about it much.

and for those not aware, Jordan will be next. The whole freedom thing, so we can move from a kings yoke to a religious extremist one is on tap there to.

I hope you are right.

It's been a while since Egypt had a pharaoh.
Is Morsi a descendent of the gods?

well, Mubarak had a long reign at 30 years I believe, he still came up short of several Pharaohs, Morsi now has his shot.

Morsi may just get shot....He has hoodwinked a great many people. Democracy...

Morsi has retired the Generals who headed up the Egyptian Military. However, the military could still step in and side with the people. It is possible that the military will not want to serve under the new generals.
