1. And the perpetrators of the Cairo massacres? When does Sisi go on trial?

I guess after the next revolution.

2. Attacking bullets with their bodies.

3. Kind of playing out like the French Revolution now

Who is the current enemy of the people?

4. And Mubarak was freed

Hmmmm. Yeah, totally ok to violently overthrow a democratically elected government. Because this side is not 'extremist'.

And overthrow an elected government, but we give that a pass.

Even with the best of intentions, intervening in other countries' civil wars and internal strife leads to contradiction and inconsistency. There is a tendency to cherry pick the situations that serve your own ends, even when you try to be even handed.
