A Brotherhood coup in Egypt

A Brotherhood coup in Egypt: The purge of Egypt's top brass by President Mohammed Morsi deftly exploited army weaknesses made glaring by recent militant activity in the Sinai peninsula, and he was likely helped by young officers angry at a sharp generational divide in the military's higher echelons. As daily riots over shortages take hold, powerful forces are happy to hand Morsi this victory - simply because it positions the Muslim Brotherhood as a scapegoat for trouble to come. - Victor Kotsev (Aug 14, '12)
