Yesterday, the suddenly-embattled president of Egypt tried telling his nation that despite grabbing more power than his immediate predecessor Hosni Mubarak ever had, he couldn’t possibly oppress anyone. Today, Egyptians responded to Mohamed Morsi’s insistent humility with even more protests than before, protests that have now washed up all the way to the gates of the US Embassy. As our embassy closes for business today, Morsi’s allies in the Muslim Brotherhood announced plans to produce a “million-man” counterprotest that will almost certainly put pressure on the Egyptian military to make a decision about their immediate and long-term future.
