When television cameras beam pictures of massive crowds in Tahrir Square op-posing President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, it is well to remember that in the first round of last year's presidential elections, the candidate who won a plurality of votes in Cairo and in Alexandria, Egypt's second city, was neither Morsi nor his opponent in the run-off election, but a secular candidate, Hamdeen Sabahi. When secular Egyptians rejoice at the military's ouster of a democratically elected president and plaster the general's photo all across Cairo, they repeat Morsi's fatal mistake of relying on the army and the police rather than on democratic institutions and protocols. When the tourist industry was in the doldrums and over 40% of the population was living below the poverty level, Morsi ended the food and utility subsidies as demanded by the International Monetary Fund as the price for a $4.8 billion loan.
