| Analysis: Morsi death sentence blow to dream of 'Egyptian renaissance' |
| 2015-06-17 |
| [HINDUSTANTIMES] In which the author laments the fact that Egypt's first democratically-elected president has been sentenced to death, ignoring the fact that he ruled like he'd been elected dictator. It's too bad about the general running things, but when the choice is which dictator you're left with y'gotta go with the lesser of two evils. |

| #8 Given that the Egyptian justice system entirely retries the case at two levels of appeals courts, which will take several years, and given that during those appeals rounds almost all sentences are reduced, the wailing and breast beating seem a tad premature. |

| #3 ..in their case the 9th Century. You need a sizable middle class to make a case for democracy. Otherwise, it's just another academic fantasy. That's why the neo-Marxists are trying to destroy the one here. |
