Egypt's Destiny Between Four Political Forces and Four Dates History rarely repeats itself but the wise always learn from its lessons. The 2011 Egyptian uprising was a remarkable event that displayed many positive attributes about the Egyptian youth and their future aspirations. But the moment the revolutionary partners broke ranks within days of toppling Egypt's former dictator, there was not much chance to advance the march towards genuine change.

Conspiracy in Action -- Leaked Audio Shows Egypt's Coup Leaders as a Criminal Syndicate More than 40 years ago, Nixon told the American public that he was not a crook, only to be shamed nine months later and admit that indeed he had violated the law and had to resign. But the military generals in Cairo are not only crooks by their own admission, but also murderers, thugs, and psychopaths. The international community is looking the other way while Egypt descends into turmoil and chaos.

Gaza, Egypt and Syria: a Common Thread of Genocide, War Crimes, and Wars Against Humanity Today's wars seem to be against mostly civilians -- women, children, the elderly -- those who cannot fight back or defend themselves. Stark proof that, no matter where the war is, it is Genocide, War Crimes, and Wars Against Humanity.

Putting Egypt's Coup on Trial While coup leaders thought they could humiliate and delegitimize Morsi through this sham trial, the table was turned on them, as it was Morsi who put the coup leaders, their enablers and supporters on trial. Morsi has become an icon illustrating strong determination to stare down the coup, champion the cause of freedom, stand up for democratic ideals, and defend the will of his people.

Egypt's Shameful Day -- Bloodbath on the Nile There are moments in a nation's history that become etched in stone. Such was the Palestinian Nakba, the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the September 11 attacks. The horrors unfolded on August 14 will go down in Egypt's history as such a momentous event.

An Impending Bloodbath in Egypt: Will It Break the Coup? the July 3 military coup was not in response to calls for a second wave of the revolution as falsely presented by the anti-Morsi forces. It was a determined and well-orchestrated plot to oust the democratically elected president after a single year in power.

The Grand Scam: Spinning Egypt's Military Coup ElBaradei was fully engaged in contacting world leaders to convince them that the only way out for Egypt was the dismissal and overthrow of Morsi. Ironically, during May and June, Western leaders, including Obama and Kerry, pressured Morsi and the MB leadership to appoint ElBaradei as Prime Minister while the latter was arguing for Morsi's overthrow.

How to Thwart Democracy? In Egypt the Military is Supreme as they officially announced that Morsi was removed from power, the generals surrounded themselves with several civilian and religious leaders, including the head of Al-Azhar, the Coptic Pope, ElBaradei as NSF spokesman, and representatives of Tamarrud and the Salafist Al-Noor Party. It was a brazen attempt to make it seem as if the overthrow of Morsi had broad consensus by civilian and religious leaders.

Egypt's Fateful Day Regardless of which scenario unfolds, Egypt will be facing difficult times. But for wisdom and rationality to carry the day, Egyptians of all stripes must come to their senses and realize that no group can ignore or marginalize the others. The MB-dominated government must realize that it must be inclusive and transparent, while the opposition must respect the democratic rules of the political game.

Egypt's Political Map: Clearing the Fog The political class in Egypt is so polarized currently that it is difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel. But the Egyptian people deserve to realize the fruits of their remarkable revolution. There must be a real national dialogue between all major parties regardless of ideology or political affiliation.

Egypt's Constitution, the Opposition, and the Dialogue of the Deaf For the past three weeks, Egypt has been in turmoil. Its political structure has fractured almost fatally. The political order has become a zero-sum game. In their rush to discredit each other, both broad coalitions disregarded the cries and suffering of the average man or woman in the street. The economic situation in Egypt has deteriorated so much that poverty, unemployment, and crime have risen to unprecedented levels.

In Egypt: When Democracy is not an Option The secular forces need to face reality and accept the will of the people in a new and free Egypt. If their vision and programs for the country are better than the Islamist parties, then they have to convince the Egyptian electorate and start winning elections and referendums. They cannot claim to be pro-democracy and reject its outcome, or hail its principles while undermining its system or circumventing its rules.

Showdown in Egypt The new constitution calls for the president to serve his full four-year term (which the secularists sternly oppose) as well as for new parliamentary elections to take place within 60 days. Many Egyptians hope that cooler heads will prevail and that the most difficult test for Egyptian political groups since the fall of Mubarak will prove that Egypt's democracy has matured, is resilient, and would indeed endure.

Egyptian Military Checkmated Underestimated by his critics and dismissed by his opponents, Morsi has demonstrated coolness under pressure, toughness, and shrewdness uncharacteristic to Egyptian politicians. With the exceptions of Mubarak's remnants his actions were overwhelmingly approved by Egyptians from diverse political, ideological, and pro-revolution groups.

Clinton in Cairo Throughout her trip, Clinton was met with angry supporters of the military and Mubarak's remnants, who accused the US of supporting the MB. The US strategy is to give the Islamic rising powers a chance to govern as long as they agree to: keep the Americans in, the Chinese and Russians out, the Iranians down, and the Israelis safe.

The True Face of Egypt's Military The emerging Islamic and revolutionary parties have now been totally stripped of their political ascendency, less than five months after their rise to power. Further, a Mubarak-era military man is now on the verge of being "elected" president using the assorted tools of the democratic process.
