TREAT THEM LIKE CHILDREN AND THEN WONDER WHY THEIR POLITICAL CULTURE IS IMMATURE:
The Price of Terminating Democracy in Egypt : Algeria endured 10 years of civil war after its military blocked an Islamist election victory. (WSJ, 7/07/13)
The coup d'état that ousted President Mohammad Morsi on July 3 was a political miscalculation that could throw Egypt into a state of protracted violence and instability. Weekend clashes between supporters and opponents of Mr. Morsi are not the worst that could happen. [...]The coup sends a message that will "resonate throughout the Muslim World loud and clear: Democracy is not for Muslims," said a spokesman for Mr. Morsi. Even people who are not Brotherhood supporters may be compelled to admit some day that this was not the best way to deal with an unpopular politician and his party.
