Sisi to become Egypt's Ataturk

33 million Egyptians demonstrated on June 30, 2013, in order to topple the government of the Muslim Brotherhood. This was clearly an Egyptian revolution. According to the most basic rules of democracy, this large number of people in the largest demonstration in history against the regime was very enough to put an end to this government. However, this is not the case in Egypt under the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood who struggled for 80 years to be in power and would have never left it so easy.

Such demonstrations could have ignored by the Muslim Brotherhood forever. Armed militias could have also participated in the argument and perform some killing and cause some injures among the demonstrators. Practically, the demonstrators did not have a mechanism to implement their demands under such government that has never cared about the people. The one who supported the Egyptian people is the Army and its great leader Colonel General Abdul Fatah al-Sisi.
 
The army has supported the will of the people after the regime had refused to listen to them more than once. Therefore, the army had to intervene and perform its national duty. Then, the army handed power to a civil government proving they have no ambitions in governance and there was no military coup in June 30, but the Egyptian people decided to overthrow this president who broke his promises and led the country to bankruptcy.
 
Many people suffered in order to make the revolution of June 30 success. Therefore, we shouldn't repeat the same mistakes of the former revolution in January 25, 2011.
 
The Muslim Brotherhood has seized the former revolution and used it to support their international organization. Now, we have a temporary, yet patriot, president who is much better than Mohamed Morsy. However, being temporary, he can't take many brave steps or implement huge plans. 
 
Therefore, we heard about calls for national reconciliation, which is a nice expression, yet does not fit the current situation in which we need to exclude those whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent Egyptians. Here, we should differentiate between the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and the innocent young people.
 
Revolutions need people with strong hearts and powerful hands. They need people who care most about their homeland. I myself think that Colonel General Abdul Fatah al-Sisi is the man to lead Egypt at this very moment. Of course he may govern with a helping hand from the young people of the revolution. This man can restore Egypt's security and safety, which are critically important elements to restore domestic and foreign investments and tourism in order to support our economy. 
  
Of course, this will upset the West who think there was a military coup. Soon they will realize we have a civil government, even with a president from military background. This does not contradict with democracy, and happened before in America when General Eisenhower was president, and in France when General de Gaulle was president. International anger will soon calm down when they make sure this regime aims to build Egypt without being threat to anybody, and it will respect all international conventions and treaties signed by Egypt. 
  
I can assure you that the majority of the Egyptian people hope this happen, and if Sisi run for the presidency, he will win it without any fraud. This is your next step Colonel General Abdul Fatah al-Sisi to accept the people's mandate to become Egypt's Ataturk.
