Kerry Says Egypt’s Army is Restoring Democracy { What Democracy? } Why did Morsi Fail?






US Secretary of State John Kerry


US Secretary of State John Kerry has said Egypt's military was "restoring democracy" when it ousted elected President Mohammed Morsi last month.
 First I don’t understand why Sc. of State Kerry uses the word “Restoring” when they (Egyptians) have not had democracy ever to restore. So I don’t know what restoration he is talking about. If he means the last time they voted and got Morsi, that was very far from democracy. People in Cuba vote every four years but Im sure Kerry will not call it a Democracy. I understand the Army is trying to correct the two headed monster that sometimes elections for the hell to have election give life to.They are not planned well giving people information and then protecting the system from corruption. The Military was in a rush because of the United States putting pressure on  them to get it done or there would be a cut off of the aid given. If the President never said, many in the government did (both parties).

The voting was controlled by one side as both a case of corruption on the Moslem brotherhood and ignorance on the other side. Ignorance how democracies or countries close to democracy work. If you don’t vote because you are pissed you invalidated your vote for you but gave it to the other side. You most know the consequences if you don’t vote. You most know how to get along and hate at the same time without killing your opponent. You have to compromise without giving in things that you did not have but are looking to get now and I don’t mean religion.  In this case they got a repressive government driving the institution of government to a Moslem Theocracy and with it all the rights that they even had under a dictatorship were taken away. 
The way they moslems/ christians apply any religion is not compatible with a modern world unless they see whatever bible they need to go by a living instrument that changes to adapt as human beings change. Both the human and the physical world of today has very little to do with 2 to 8000 years ago. Some people are so tired of the insistence to semi live as 2000 years ago that they just give up on the whole idea of religion, which makes more sense to them.
You can not put the church or any religion in power over the population because then it will govern by people that know religion and will pursue the growth of the religion not the growth of those being govern. That was the point in our amendment to our constitution in the USA in which it separates the church from the government but even then you can see the massive power that religion has in the country. They constantly violate the law by telling people how to vote and in cases from keeping people from voting. 
Hopefully the third time is a charm but the army is going to have to take an anti moslem stance otherwise they wont be able to have a secular person govern. These people were fairly quiet under the past two presidents of Egypt but when the revolution occurred they took out they knives and daggers.
They need to have uN or any other group to educate this people on elections.
It’s not going to be easy to control them again)Moslem brotherhood) and as we see it takes a lot of bodies on the streets to accomplish that but there would be even more bodies if the Morsi people were allowed to run their show the way the wanted too. A revolution should end when the objectives have been met, It seems that Washington with the words of Kerry is giving ‘Now” is giving them the time they need. Rushing this is worse. 
The BBC's Jim Muir says there is a defiant mood in the camp with protesters willing to die for President Morsi 
Mr Kerry said the removal was at the request of "millions and millions of people".
His remarks came as police prepare to disperse two pro-Morsi sit-ins in the capital, Cairo.
Egypt's interior ministry has promised Mr Morsi's supporters "safe exit" if they quickly leave the camps.
The country's cabinet on Wednesday ordered police to end the protests, calling them a "national security threat".
'Asked to intervene'

Washington has refused to describe Mr Morsi's removal as a "coup". Doing so would require the US government to cut off its estimated $1.5bn (£1bn) in annual aid to Egypt.
Correspondents say Mr Kerry's latest comments will be seen in Egypt as supportive of the interim government.
In an television interview in Pakistan, Mr Kerry said: "The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of whom were afraid of a descendance into chaos, into violence.
"And the military did not take over, to the best of our judgement - so far. To run the country, there's a civilian government. In effect, they were restoring democracy."
Mr Kerry also warned against further bloodshed, according to AFP news agency.
He said Washington was "very, very concerned" about the killing of dozens of pro-Morsi protesters in clashes with security forces, calling it "absolutely unacceptable".
Thousands of supporters of Mr Morsi have defied new warnings from the military-backed cabinet by continuing their sit-ins.
The main protest camp is at a square near the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque in the capital's north-east, where clashes left some 70 people dead last Saturday, and in Nahda Square near the main campus of Cairo University.
Demonstrators there have already ignored previous threats of dispersal.

It came after mass rallies in which millions of Egyptians calling for his removal took to the streets.
They want to see Mr Morsi - Egypt's first democratically elected president - reinstated. The Islamist leader was removed by the army on 3 July, after just one year in office.
Egypt's interior ministry released a statement on Thursday saying it called "on those in Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares to let reason and the national interest prevail, and to quickly leave".
The ministry "pledges a safe exit and full protection to whoever responds to this appeal", it added.
Ministry spokesman Hany Abdel Latif told Reuters there was "no specified date" for the removal.
'Stupid'
Supporters of Mr Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood movement have remained defiant.

Essam el-Erian, vice-president of the Freedom and Justice Party, the Brotherhood's political wing, said the protesters would not be deterred.
"There are expectations of a massacre taking place in front of the eyes of the whole world," he said.
"The free people in Egypt and the world must stand against this stupid cabinet mandate for the police to end the sit-in protests."
An African Union delegation confirmed on Wednesday that it had met Mr Morsi, who has not been seen in public since being ousted.
He had received no official visitors until Tuesday, when he met EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton who said he was "well".
The ousted leader has been formally remanded in custody at an undisclosed location, according to a judicial order.
He has been accused of the "premeditated murder of some prisoners, officers and soldiers" when he and several Muslim Brotherhood leaders were freed during a breakout at a Cairo prison in January 2011.
He is alleged to have plotted attacks on jails in the uprising that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak.
Mr Morsi is also accused of conspiring with the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip and has strong links with the Muslim Brotherhood.
