    How does an Army need civilians to control violence and terrorism? This is creepy!!!! The ant-Morsi protest suceeded, so they should now go home if they really did a good thing. The agrieved should be the ones ptotesting on the streets now. And if they are not doing it peacefully, the army has the automatic mandate to correct it. Having said this, the Army chief is still talking and therefore shows further that the removal of Morsi was a coup. Even the US knows that a democatically elected president cannot be yanged from seat by the military by something called a different name than a coup. People are only playing politics of interest and not necessarily politics of justice. Get Morsi back and outvote him at the end of his term!!!!!!!
