Keep the aid and the influence

I expect flak for this, which was published last night by al-monitor.com under the heading “US should not cut aid for Egyptian military”:

The American reaction to the Egyptian coup (yes, it was a coup, no matter how popular) is schizophrenic.

The Obama administration, with significant support in Congress, accepts the new situation and is trying to make the best of it, pushing behind the scenes for the Egyptian army to re-establish civilian authority and move quickly to revise the Constitution and hold new elections, which have been promised within six months.

You’ll have to go to al-monitor.com for the rest, as they don’t allow me to publish the whole thing.
