I agree, basically, with all the previous comments. Democracy was brought up and pure democracy, majority plus one rule, is often nothing more than mob rule. The united States was formed and quickly adopted a constitutional republic to secure our "self-evident unalienable" rights. The Muslim brotherhood-led government was moving to impose a tyranny, an Islamic extremist tyranny, upon the people of Egypt. Mohamed Soltan may be admired for his convictions, but I cannot admire nor support government imposed tyranny; not in Egypt and certainly not here in our constitutional republic. Sadly, the Ohio State University no longer educates about, or embraces, our "Organic Law," inclusive of the Declaration of Independence, Northwest Ordinance, Articles of Confederation, and Constitution. Let us hope Soltan lives and comes to comprehend the error of his worldview and let us hope our republic and Egypt are able to secure and preserve the "Blessings of Liberty.
