Egypt....Round two?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record I would like to bring up the subject of Egypt and the region at large. Recently that corner of the world has undergone a series of revolutions and political reformations for the better or for the worse. Some NATO (USA….) backed and some not, but the question everyone is asking is , “Will they get it right this time?”.  Not only does this question concern Israel and other regional powers but it scares the western world stiff.

                The western world is without question the unrivaled military power in the world, although nations such as China and Russia are again becoming world players, there is simply no comparison between their capabilities. Capabilities aside though the Western World lacks the man power and the will at present to prevent any further destruction of the Egyptian situation and from the looks of things that may be a very bad thing indeed.

                The newly elected Egyptian president, Mursi has decided that his first act of office would be a direct challenge to the legal rulings of the Supreme Court and new Egyptian constitution. In an effort to silence the President’s unlawful request the Egyptian military has enforced legal rule despite presidential orders. The Egyptian military’s precedent set before the president is an impressive one however dangerous.  Without the support of the major political party and a growing enemy in “The Muslim Brotherhood” how long can the military act in accordance with peaceful measures.

                The situation in Egypt is incredibly volatile and dangerous; the newly elected President has not only challenged a court order but has lost valuable credibility with the disobedience of the Egyptian military. Furthermore the Egyptian High command and judicial branches have deemed it necessary to increase the power of the Egyptian High command and have in effect started the path to martial law or civil war.  The western world does not have the ability to interfere with Egyptian political affairs at the present however should another power struggle occur what is there to stop yet another hostile state from forming in the region?
