Somehow I find it difficult to gin up any sympathy for dead salafists. The Egyptian military is merely doing what has now become necessary to restore order after 2 years of chaos. I predicted this would happen when the Mubarak regime was forced from power and so it has. A liberal democracy virtually anywhere in the middle east outside of Israel has always been something of a chimera. With luck, the generals will hold on to the reins of power until such time that the military can safely return to their barracks: 20 or 30 years sounds about right. :-)
