I'm sorry but the World would be a much better place without US intervention.
What has the US got to do with the Muslim Brotherhood burning down a Franciscan school and parading helpless nuns through the streets as prisoners of war?? Answer ... nothing. It's the Muslim Brotherhood waging war upon non-muslims. It's just that simple.
But wait! Have you forgotten that Allah said, “Do not regard those who disbelieved that we grant them good for themselves? We only give them a respite so that they may increase their sins, and for them there is a humiliating torment.” (3:178)
Is it fair, O son of the “Released Ones” that you keep your ladies and bond maidens in their chambers (under protection), and at the same time you drive the daughters of the Messenger of Allah as captives with their veils removed and faces exposed, taken by their enemies from one land to another, being viewed by those at watering places as well as those who man your forts, with their faces exposed to the looks of everyone – near or distant, lowly or honourable, having none of their men with them nor any of their protectors?
But what can be expected from one descended from those whose mouths chewed the liver of the purified ones and whose flesh grows out of the blood of the martyrs? How can it be expected that one who looks at us with grudge and animosity, with hatred and malice, would not hate us – the Ahlul Bayt? Besides, you, without feeling any guilt or weighing heavily what you recite saying, They would have been very much delighted, Then they’d have said, “May your hands, O Yazid, never be paralyzed.”
"We are nuns. We rely on God and the angels to protect us," she said. "At the end, they paraded us like prisoners of war and hurled abuse at us as they led us from one alley to another without telling us where they were taking us," she said. A Muslim woman who once taught at the school spotted Manal and the two other nuns as they walked past her home, attracting a crowd of curious onlookers.
"I remembered her, her name is Saadiyah. She offered to take us in and said she can protect us since her son-in-law was a policeman. We accepted her offer," she said. Two Christian women employed by the school, siblings Wardah and Bedour, had to fight their way out of the mob, while groped, hit and insulted by the extremists. "I looked at that and it was very nasty," said Manal.

As i thought about this more, and removed the hyperbolic Daily Mail and it's frothing mouth from the equation, i could not help but think of another possible headline... "Confused and distressed Nuns lead from burning building and escorted to eventual safety through mob as possibly thousands are killed"
Food for thought.

The Muslims also:
attacked at least 58 churches, Christian institutions, homes and shops since Wednesda
In a separate incident, a Catholic school and a Christian orphanage were burned down in Minya.
In some parts of Minya, Islamists painted a red X on Muslim stores and a black X on Christian shops. Muslim stores were spared by mobs while property of Christians were looted.
Churches and other Christian property were also razed in Alexandria, Arish, Assiut, Cairo, Gharbiya, Giza, Qena, Sohag and Suez.
Two Christians have also been killed since Wednesday.
The Bible Society of Egypt has reported the burning down of its bookshops in Assiut and Minia cities in southern Egypt.
All this in the name of Allah a God of peace?
I don't see Obama condemning this.
Nor do I see "normal" Muslim leaders condemning this. That says more to me than anything about Islam.

This is what the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi supporters are doing. Taking innocent Christian nuns who are minding their own business, and abusing them and parading them through the streets as prisoners of 'war'.
