Dear President Obama,
Please stop the U.S. aid to Egypt. You don't want blood on your hands. Spend that money instead for our American people who need help at this very critical times. The obvious is too obvious. Cancelling the joint military exercises has no important impact on the present crisis. But stopping the aid will. Thank you. A concerned American Citizen.
Dear President Obama,
Dear President Obama,
Please stop supporting the coup in Egypt and put back Morsi with a condition to have new presidential elections in 2 months from the day of his return. Doing this will stop all violence and solve the problem.
Thank you

Why isn't there more coverage of the destruction of Christian churches? If mosques were destroyed in riots in a Christian country, we'd hear all the details over and over again. Why aren't we hearing about the number of churches destroyed, whether people were killed or injured, whether the destruction occurred during services, etc? Are Christian churches less deserving of protection?
CNN your reporters are very bias and one sided. You are actually supporting a terrorist group. You call it a coup and totally ignore the millions of Egyptians who came out to the streets requesting the military to interfere to free Egypt from a dictator called Morsi and a terrorist group that is killing and torturing civilians.
