And this is the writing that was inscribed: "mina", "mina", "shekel", "half-mina". This is the interpretation of the matter: "mina", God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;"shekel", you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting;"half-mina", your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. —Daniel 5:25–28

July 29th, 2013- Analysts: Egypt coup weakens Hamas, may help peace talks
"Unrest in Egypt and an Egyptian military crackdown in the Sinai has weakened the Palestinian Liberation Organization's main rival, Hamas, and improved prospects for peace talks about to begin in Washington, analysts say. Hamas, the Palestinian franchise of the Muslim Brotherhood that controls the Gaza Strip and rules its population of 1.8 million Palestinians, opposes the negotiations that Secretary of State John Kerry announced last week for a possible independent Palestinian state."

Israel is concerned that cutting US aid to Egypt because of a military coup could jeopardize the peace treaty.
"Israel is concerned that the Obama administration will suspend the $1.3 billion annual military aid to Egypt following the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, and that suspension of aid could jeopardize the Israel-Egypt peace treaty. Israel may ask the US to find a way to continue the aid program, even though US law bans financial aid to regimes that seized power in a coup..."

BBC questioning US credibility.
Every problem we face today around the world, majority of them was created by the British Empire after WW II. Israel, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Libya, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Northern Africa, etc.
UK’s credibility is always questionable when it comes to Middle East and South Asia. The British Imperialism is rooted on their philosophy of “divid and conquer” and there is extensive writing on this philosophy during and after UK’s Imperialism.
Only one thing to say to BBC and the Brits when it comes to them criticizing someone else’s credibility, GO FUCK YOURSELVES
The USA wouldn't need their MIC if it wasn't for the British Empire.
If one pastes together the paragraphs and titles I posted... in the order in which they were published, LEAVING OUT THE BBC ARTICLES, THIS is how it reads:
"Israel is concerned that the Obama administration will suspend the $1.3 billion annual military aid to Egypt following the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, and that suspension of aid could jeopardize the Israel-Egypt peace treaty. Israel may ask the US to find a way to continue the aid program, even though US law bans financial aid to regimes that seized power in a coup..." "Unrest in Egypt and an Egyptian military crackdown in the Sinai has weakened the Palestinian Liberation Organization's main rival, Hamas, and improved prospects for peace talks about to begin in Washington, analysts say. Hamas, the Palestinian franchise of the Muslim Brotherhood that controls the Gaza Strip and rules its population of 1.8 million Palestinians, opposes the negotiations that Secretary of State John Kerry announced last week for a possible independent Palestinian state." "Former Israeli PM calls for US to support Egyptian voup leaders." "Egypt considers outlawing Muslim Brotherhood."
THIS WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID, "THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL."
Still don't see it? How about NOW?
In new era of cooperation, Israeli drone kills ’5 jihadis’ in Egypt
"We are in a new era of cooperation between Israel and Egypt. Israel launches a drone strike in the Sinai and kills 'five jihadis,' according to Egyptian news agency. This is very close to Gaza, which has experienced a crackdown from Egypt since the coup."

Violating the Law to Subsidize Egypt's Coup: Bipartisan Foolishness in Washington
" U.S. policy in Egypt has been a disaster. For decades Washington backed rule by an authoritarian dictatorship that persecuted religious minorities and socialized the economy. Now the short-lived democratic revolution has been replaced by military rule with a meaningless civilian veneer. Washington should cut off foreign aid and disengage.
Instead, the Obama administration has embraced putative dictatorship, refusing to characterize the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi as a coup. If only George Orwell was alive today."

The US will not suspend financial aid to Egypt.
Interesting piece

Egypt’s aid is on of those items in the Camp David Accord. While McCain and Graham on Sunday TV harking about Coup, one needs to look at it a bit more closely.
The army did throw out Morsi in response agitation on the strew by those who oppose Morsi and Muslim brother hood but did not take over as administrators, did not suspend the constitution (which is the first thing the military throws out), brought in someone (judge) to be the acting president and the new president formed a cabinet and promised elections. You cannot say, just because the military overthrew the President, it is coup.
SEcond, Muslim Brotherhood have been problem for very long time in Egypt, before Mubarak, during Mubarak, he put all of the Brotherhood leaders in prison. They support and are supported by the Hamas, has connections to Taliban and Taliban have entered Egypt to fight alongside Muslim Brotherhood according Pakistani News Papers.
So the situation is lot more complex than simpleton McCain and Graham is able to comprehend. These are the same two clowns who wants to send in our military.
According to many papers in the middle east, the primary goal of the Egyptian army is to wipe out Muslim Brotherhood. They are convinced (at least the General) that Egypt cannot and will not progress with the Muslim Brotherhood pulling the strings.
Purely an internal issue and US aid of $1.6 billion is peanuts compared $10+ billion Egypt gets from countries like Saudi Arabia.
Mccain and co is pissed because they didn’t get to play war games

The yellow zone shown int he map was heavily influenced by Buddhism which actually extended all the way to Central Asia and there recent excavations even in Russia close Central Asia showing Hindu influence in 6th/7th BC.
Raging debate among historians where it all started. Some how, text books and Wiki is not up to date.
For your original comment about Egypt, seriously doubt this is the end. The fight is between Muslim Brotherhood who wants to impose Islamic Sharia Law and Egyptian Liberals, the likes El Baradei. I see it as positive movement, may be spring board other nations in the area to get out of Islamic Sharia. From what I have read, the educated young people in the area are more liberal and doesn’t want freedom equal to their peers in rest of the free world.
Indeed, it is struggle between political philosophies and we the US not getting involved directly is the best thing because we will never win in these situations
