Egypt after ousting Morsi !!

We are back to square one.
         No democracy, no respect to any one's will. A police state and military that is pro Mubarak. They aborted our efforts and hard work towards a free society.
I am not a member of the Muslim brotherhood, I lived, was educated and worked in the West "USA" most of my life, and other countries around the world. During Mursi's ruling, I had more freedom in expressing my opinion without fears for the first time in my life in Egypt. I was so happy to finally be able to exercise  some of my civil and constitutional rights freely without fears. I was so excited to learn that my opinion finally count as a proud Egyptian citizen, who can decide for his future and vote for his own president. I was fully motivated by the new experience that was once a dream that finally came true.  when you are able to speak  out and to express your free opinion without being influenced  by fear, you are definitely benefiting everyone that is around you, including yourself in that society.  I think it's an essential  need for the growing and  developing of any society that the member of the society can talk freely and exchange opinions freely without the fear of being prosecuted or punished for it.

    Now the homeland security "Amn Eldawla " is back again the same old way but this time with more power, a power that is sufficient to arrest the Freely elected president and  against the will of his own people which are the majority of the voting power of the Egyptian people.
I was planing to move back permanently to Egypt and to invest everything that I have and to work and support my own country by sharing all my business and my academic experience with the Egyptian market and the Egyptian people, taking advantage of the  privilege of a finally free democratic society, where I can feel like a human being with a voice that can be heard and counted. I was aware of all the challenges that followed the transition from the autocratic regime towards the road of a true democracy.
       But I never thought that it could go as far as it went in Egypt two days ago, and all this happening as a result of disagreeing over opinions. One side was practicing Democracy following the leadership of  president Moursi, while his opponents were following no rules or the rules of the jungles by another meaning. The same exact way  we have seen for more than 30 years, but in a different time: Corrupted one sided media, corrupted police and a military that is willing to take sides and to intervene and force itself against one side for the sake of the other, breaking all the rules of democracy and of the free civil society, consequently suffocating the dream of its own people. This is not what we expected after paying the highest price from our blood for the revolution. The voting palette, which should decide whether or not President Moursi should stay,  is the free will of the Egyptian people. It is them who should decide and NOT some entity or an establishment that is biased to one party or another.
President Moursi has succeeded in showing the Egyptian people and the world how true democracy could be practiced even in its worst environment.
This is a setback for all of the free pro democracy  Egyptians.
