"Egypt hit by terror attacks in response to deadly shootings by security forces."-The Telegraph.

This is precisely what I had in mind when I wrote a couple of months ago that terrorist attacks on the U.S. would be justified because of American actions in other countries. What else would we expect the Muslim Brotherhood to do here? Their democratically elected president has been ousted in a coup d'etat, he and their leaders are in jail, their peaceful protests have been met with murder, violent protests have, of course, been met with violence by the American-trained and financed military, their organization has been outlawed and 53 more of their members have been killed in clashes with the military!  Over 1,000 have now been killed since the coup. A civilian protest movement will not succeed if it masses against an armed military that has no qualms about killing. Of course the civilians are going to resort to "asymmetrical warfare," i.e. "terrorism." Terrorist attacks on the Egyptian military are justified! Terrorist attacks on civilians are not justified, i.m.o. Terrorist attacks on the American state are only one degree of separation removed from terrorist attacks on the American-trained, American-financed Egyptian military state. They are coming. And they too would be justified, i.m.o. How could they not be? How, on the history of just the last year, could we say Muslim Brotherhood terrorist attacks on the American state are not justified?
