Z,
Avoiding knocking over a house of cards that it took a decade to build is a good enough reason for me.
If this was a house of cards, it was knocked down a while ago, especially when Obama verbally supported the Arab Spring.

The truth is that this is NOT a house of cards. This is the Washington status quo, which is the complete opposite. Even when everything changes, it takes a very long time for the bureaucrats in Washington to change their mentality. In this case, it's thinking that there is still a viable Egyptian state that you can rely upon as an ally in a peace treaty.

Now maybe the Egyptian military is doing everything it is doing because (among many other things) they don't want to lose aid. OK, but then we have already sided with the Egyptian military here, for better or for worse.

The State Dept. doesn't want to say this for obvious reasons, but I am really disappointed that they're even playing games with the definition of a coup d'etat. I can't think of any reason why they would except that they continue to be in sheer denial.
