Why can't the Obama administration call Egypt's Mohamed Morsi out for what he is: an elected-president-turned-a-dictator?
November 22, 2012 was a black day in the short history of the two year old Egyptian revolution. It was the day when Morsi gave himself absolute powers and turned into a dictator.
As much as it was inevitable the sad end of the landing of Luxor's hot balloon, killing 19 innocent people, it is also inevitable the disastrous result of the leadership of President Mohamed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood; innocent men, women and children killed and being killed or injured and the hope for a better future for next generation Egyptians dashed away.
President Mohamed Morsi used his last Sunday two hour long TV interview to defend his first seven month record. But he failed with flying colors.

During the last 20 years in my regular visits to Cairo, my birth place, I was keen to buy my supply of New Year calendars, to give as gifts to family and friends back in Canada, from Carmen Weinstein. But no more, she died last week.
Would any rational person conclude that Canada is a bad country if every year it produces 30 violent criminals (about one for every one million Canadians)?
Last week, the message of the two-hour live-TV presidential meeting in Cairo was clear: Egyptian views out there to solve the nation's water crises with Ethiopia are as mediocre as that of the government's or even worse; some were calling for the use of force.
In 2011, Ethiopia seizing on Egypt's post-revolution political uncertainty put into motion its plans to build a massive $4.8 billion hydropower dam - known as the Grand Renaissance Dam - along the Blue Nile river within its own borders despite Egypt's opposition to the project. When built, the dam could mean massive food, water and electric power shortages for Egypt.
