Muhammad Morsi, steps down, and some other pundit from the MB takes his place. Democracy doesn't work in the ME, they need dictators to keep all those radical muslims in line with the power of fear. The only power those people respect is fear. Even democracy will fail given enough time, corruption will eat it's way into anything made by the hands of men.
Strangely I think that you may have a point, a lot of tribalism in the middle east, so much sectarianism. Id probably choose freedom over stability tho.

Freedom is an illusion. You are free because you believe you are, and the ones in power, the ones holding your chains know this and they use it against you. Give a man the right to vote, and he thinks he is free. Yet while you have your right to vote, your vote means nothing when it's the electoral college who does the chosing, and you must ofcourse pay your taxes, that originally were un-Constutional. There is nothing but corruption in everything we make. I looked into a mirror and saw the face of evil, and that face staring back was me. We are all fools.

Once a government is overthrown forcibly, it is a repeat prescription for carnage.

The lies of politicians who have, until now, believed that they can say whatever they like to gain power, and then follow a completely different agenda.
And, the people becoming more secular and open, while an extremely religious minority want to cling to power.

CAIRO - Egypt's military has drawn up a plan to suspend the Islamist-backed constitution, dissolve the Islamist-dominated legislature and set up an interim administration headed by the country's chief justice if President Mohammed Morsi fails to reach a solution with his opponents by the end of a Wednesday deadline, the state news agency reported.
The report Tuesday provided the first details on the road map that the military has said it will implement if Morsi fails to meet its ultimatum, as millions of protesters returned to the streets for the third straight day in their drive to force the Islamist president out of office.
Protesters turned to a new target, massing a giant crowd outside the Qasr el-Qobba presidential palace where Morsi has been working in recent days, in addition to filling wide avenues outside another palace, central Tahrir Square and main squares in cities nationwide - www.wctrib.com...

so the two dates are: tuesday Greenwich Meantime, by 2:00 pm.
followed by 24 hours to reach a resolution on the next day, Wednesday? and morsi
has come out and said, "no thanks." to reaching a resolution with the military and/or the protestors ?
that is very confusing.
