As much as we Egyptians treasure our military, acting alone it cannot provide the legitimacy to lay the foundations for democracy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the Egyptian people need to restore confidence that Americans, the U.S., means what they say when they talk about democracy, rule of law.
The dream of democracy has long been enshrined in the hearts of the Egyptian people. It only needed awakening.
Egypt is going through difficult times and we cannot allow it to carry on.
It is true that Egypt's attempt at democracy after the 2011 revolution encountered many obstacles in governance and infrastructure.
In the United States, we can do almost anything we want. It's not like Egypt, where you're going to get murdered by the security forces.
We believe democracy cannot be imposed from outside in any society. Democracy is the expression of a sovereign people.
Nobody should be allowed to tinker with democracy. We will not discontinue the good works of the past government.
It is going to take a long time to switch Egypt into a democracy.
Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles.
We are not at war with Egypt. We are in an armed conflict.
