Gunned down a thousand people in the street, and reimposed the old dictatorship.

Egypt's "liberals" fucked up big time by begging the military to do a coup. If they really cared about democracy, they would have competed in election to replace Morsi. Now, they get to share jail cells with him. Long live pharaoh!
