...aoches.
Today the Egyptian government either figures out a solution to satisfy the protests, or they face a military which has said it would step in.
Not sure about you guys, but I don't like the idea of an elected government being overthrown a year after it was elected. Right or wrong it sets a bad precendent which will be difficult for future governments to overcome.

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Egypt is being described as a nation on the brink of a volcano, as protesters again march across the country, this time demanding President Mohamed Morsy step down by Tuesday. And the army has warned both the president and the opposition to resolve their differences and "meet the people's demands" within 48 hours -- or, the army says, it will step in.
As the clock ticks down on those deadlines CNN's senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman in Cairo, Egypt, explains to Christiane Amanpour what's behind the latest protests and what the military can do.
Amanpour: How are the people reacting to the military ultimatum?
Wedeman: The people in Tahrir Square are reacting quite positively. In fact, as this statement was being issued on Egyptian TV, we heard repeated cheers coming from the crowd.
And since that announcement was made, we've had more and more people coming into the square.
