And those organization were technically correct. The voting process went off pretty well and the election was close and the Islamists slightly prevailed. I don’t question their impression that the tools of an election worked. My point is that during the revolutionary upheaval of the events of 2011 an election so close could only truly determine that the will of the people was very strongly divided at best.
That all could have worked had Morsi recognized the significant historic power that he had acquired and his mandate was not to take his Bloc of support to establishment of his party rule as the mandate of the 2011 revolution.
It was the secularists revolt that brought the MB’s nemesis/Mubarak down. Morsi needed to pay some homage to the secular and moderate spirit of half the nation. They did not begin a revolution to go from a soft moderate tyranny to a strong Islamist tyranny that would crush the ideal of liberty and freedom and tolerance of religion for a new order of life run by the Aystollahs through a fundamentalist in a business suit like Morsi.
The Carter Center was right the election was legit as elections go. But this was far from an ordinary election and Morsi won it but he blew what he should have done with his slim win considering all the circumstances and the divided will of all the people.
Morsi blew it and deserved to be gone. Morsi even as a miderate was not showing that he was looking to establish and preserve an established democratic self-rule where the secular and non-Islamic rule would be kept separate.
There were other conservative blocs that opposed what Morsi was doing once he gained power. I think he was taking direction from the religious hierarchy, not and ideal of individual liberty. And he can’t crush the ideal of individual liberty, specifically when the military for selfish reasons if course, will not ever hand military power over to the Ayatollahs.
