Egypt is also working things out judging from the events of the past week or so. We heard about the clashes between the radicals who attacked the US Embassy in Cairo and the more moderate Tahrir Square demonstrators. We also saw President Morsi who visited the conference that was held in Iran and spoke out against Assad at that conference, a no no since Iran, his host supports Assad. And now we have Morsi who under pressure abandoned his efforts to remove the more moderate Chief Justice of Egypt. So things take time for your democracies, and US has no right or business to meddle in their affairs and go in riding like a white knight. If the US Govt. says that the Coptic Christian guy produced that anti-Prophet video because of his right to freedom of expression, it would be politically expedient for the US to ensure that the Egyptians who fought for their freedom be given that right to of freedom of expression. Doing so would be "spreading democracy" Going in with military force and saber rattling like Romney is doing is not the way. After all India and Gandhi did not look to the US, did not depend on the US to seek their democracy from UK, a US ally. They did it on their own. On the contrary, it was Dr. King, who fashioned his movement on the lines of Gandhi's movement to knock on US conscience to usher in true democracy.
