implying the middle east was ever together for it to fall apart, lol.  

Alright I am Egyptian so hopefully I can shed some light on whats going on , the members muslim brotherhood are more likely brain washed by the people controlling it , those people controlling it are seeking self benefits without realizing and or caring for the consequences of theyr actions , they'r just building up momentum in those young people in muslim brotherhood to commit horrible crimes so they can retreive the Ex-president of Egypt (Morsy) so they can acquire the old benefits they used to receive when the president was still president , so the muslim brotherhood members killed about 35-25 of the Egyptian army and police , using guns infront of the place were morsy was held up , there for the army returned that attack with another attack injuring people with weapons , those people that were harmed , the muslim brother hood kept them so they can show people outside Egypt that our army is some what brutal , although the army offerd medical help to them the muslim brother hood refused , the attack was only defensive , now about Obama , I am not 100% sure , but its more of a nobrainer that Obama is not feeling good about whats going on due to him paying alot of money supporting the muslim brother hood for American benefits , and now the money is more likely lost , therefor the American congress is going to cause him big trouble , so he tries his best to show a bad image of the Egyptian army , I am Egyptian and Iam telling you guys this isnt some kind of a coup this is the Egyptian will to remove morsy from the presidential position , what the army is doing is more of a reaction of our will (firing morsy) , I hope you do realize that when he was president , the electricity was shut 14/7 , some days we didnt even have water and dont even get me started on the car problems , once he was removed , about all of those problems are nearly resolved. thank you for reading this.

As much as I hate to say that you're right. The root of the Middle East Problems can be traced back to the time the Ottomans occupied the Middle East. When World War One broke out England promised the Middle East freedom if they help them fight the ottomans. Keep in mind the Ottomans were one of Germany's biggest allies in the war. When the Ottomans were defeated France and England split the Middle East and oppressed the region. When they finally left it the region was broken apart and crippled.

There was once a time in which Arabs were leading innovators in the world. Discovering new ideas and improving old ones.

Now all we're good for is Oil.  

Oil is very good though. While everyone complains about the West coming in for oil, everyone would be screwed without it.

Also, general protip: Don't take Al Jazeerah as a legit source.

I usually find that Al Jazeera does a better job at covering World Events than the majority of North American news channels. I won't deny that it has it's biases on certain issues but it shows much less often than let's say Fox News.

On topic.

For an army that supposedly represents the "will of the people", I find it inconceivable that they opened fire on the protestors. The facts have yet to clear up on which side initiated the violence but even if a few Morsi supporters instigated the army, they have no reason to kill over 50 people and injuring 400 more.  

Ahh well, sucks to be them!

Well yes, I can admit that I don't care. I do find it unfair when an army removes a democratically elected leader. But life isn't fair, everyone should just suck it up and get the hell over it.

Thats a pretty ignorant comment.
Life wasn't fair for the Jews during WW2, I guess they should've sucked it up and got over it when they were packed in trains headed for the gas chambers...because life isn't fair right?  

yep, hit the nail on the head right there.
