A characteristically sober and balanced piece by Paul Pillar, commenting
on the overthrow of Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi, appears as a blog item on
the website of the US journal The
National Interest.
Pillar, author of Intelligence and US
Foreign Policy: Iraq, 9/11 and Misguided Reform, begins:
The most important consequences
of the Egyptian military's ouster of President Mohamed Morsi will become clear
only over a long term. But for anyone who believes the coup was on balance a
favorable event, an awful lot of favorable news will have to come out in the
months ahead to offset what has already happened in the first few days after
the generals moved.

Off a Cliff in Egypt.
