This was not the return to Tahrir Square that Egyptians desired. For the millions converging on this cradle of revolution demanding the ouster of their president Tahrir symbolizes all that has gone wrong so quickly for so many.
Today, Egypt is a country paralyzed by a modern day version of the Ten Plagues. The Muslim Brothers rank amateur mismanagement of a revolution that democratically rewarded them their first chance to run the show since their founding eighty years ago has been squandered — and they seem to be the last to acknowledge it. No matter the mile-deep political divisions within Egypt’s society the Brothers have no one to blame but themselves for the state Egypt is in. The ever so secretly autocratic Brotherhood leadership and their miscast front man Mohammed Morsi have surely disturbed the Almighty. They have proven they cannot govern and it is time for them to go.
