    An heavy price has been paid for the mistake of Mursi ,he should have executed the generals as soon he has taken power . A revolution without blood is not a revolution , is only an invitation for suicide !!. The good think coming out of this massacre now is martyrs to the cause of freedom , the Jihad against the corrupt roten generals can start .
    Of course the generals got the green light from Washington and Tel Aviv , because the generals know very well then uncle Sam will cut the money if they do not play the game of their masters as they want it .
    A civil war is the only way to get rid of the leaches , i am sure some country’s will finance the opposition and arm them discretly . The Midle Est is a chess board for the Americans. People of Egypt make sure the evil empire call the USA and their Europeans vasals do not winn this game , the Taliban have won the war in Afghanistan do the same Goood luck
