Up to a million dead in Iraq? The highest estimate I have seen is 600,000.00 and the majority between 100,000 and 200,000.

Obama supported the democratically elected leader, Morsi. Now, he's supporting the non-democratic public ouster of Morsi, and says he'll support whoever they put up next. What would you have him do?

Egyptians, whether Morsi supporters, Mubarak supporters, Military supporters, or an average working citizen all view Obama and those who cover for him as the spineless coalition frauds right now. If we were to ask any historical President what principle drove his decision making with regards to a particular significant circumstance I think we would get an immediate, concise, and firm response. bentway: "Obama supported the democratically elected leader, Morsi. Now, he's supporting the non-democratic public ouster of Morsi, and says he'll support whoever they put up next. What would you have him do?" Stand on principle... oops too late. Obama doctrine: My leadership creates the conditions for others to step up and assume responsibility, or not.

Turns out the side that Obama put himself on is not the side that the vast majority of Egyptians now support, That's not true. Its unclear right now where the Egyptians stand. And lets not forget Morsi won the popular vote. That's why Obama supported him. It was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, Morsi turned out to be a winger and you know how that goes.
