Blair vs. UK/US - Egypt Crisis

Guardian: Reports the following on the different perspectives between Tony Blair and the present leaders in the US and UK when it comes to the Egyptian Coup , " Taking a different approach to both President Obama and William Hague, who have expressed reservations over the military takeover  ".

Lets Get Real:

One can argue from a left wing view that you either trust democracy OR NOT, if your from the right you always support the Government that supports your political interest in a region, thus the US supported right wing military dictators in its backyard and looked the other way when they removed threats without a trial, it what had to be done to keep the Communists from taking power, it was nasty and bloody folks, and normally course of events you would be appalled at such actions, but they were your SOBs, thus you supported them, the left of course went bonkers, it is nice to see that TB has gone further to the dark side from the view of the left, from the right he 100% right, one wonders if you had told the TB of 1997 that he would be so RIGHT WING, would he have thrown you out of No 10.   Power can corrupt folks, but it also shows you the real world, you have to get your hands dirty in a political sense, even accept the death of thousands, if at the end of the day your are protecting democracy or the interests of Western democracy for the long term.  Life is a B*tch folks, then you grow up, and become right wing. 

Blair on Egypt Coup - Crisis in Egypt

BBC News: Reports that former Labour PM Tony Blair has come out in support of the Army Coup in Egypt. 

Lets Get Real:

Lets see was this blog right to support the Egyptian Army in their coup, Tony Blair has come out in support, that is a joke folks, of course Mr Blair is correct, the Egyptian Army faced the breakdown of civil society, the Muslim Brotherhood was taking Egypt down the road of Iran,  as noted in the Sunday Times the Egyptian Army was worried that President Morsi was getting to close to Iran,  this was seen as a threat to the Army and to the secular society of Egypt.   Lets get real here folks, the millions of protesters in Egypt gave the Army the PR cover it wanted, one can postulate that the Army would have taken over one way or another, the Army has to write a secular Constitution, make sure that the Muslim Brotherhood can not take part in future election, and even if they do take part that there are other power centres to make sure that they can not rule by themselves,  create a US system of checks, nothing gets done in less other centres approve, fix the elections before they happen folks.
