What remains to be seen is whether Morsi is discrediting himself with his power grab (assuming it is not indeed just temporary - many 'temporary' security measures such as these have endured for decades) or Egyptians secretly prefer to be ruled by a dictator they were just tired of the old one and wanted a new dictator.
