@firefly,

Better not read the papers then ff.
The collision in Egypt between the elected Muslim Brotherhood and the Military Junta (not a coup for technical reasons) has exactly the same sort of polarised arguments as there are on this thread.
On the one hand a massacre of innocent civilians and on the other the security forces defending themselves from violent attacks.
The consensus as I understand it is that the US is funding the military coup and thus the massacre and the overthrow of democracy despite it being against US law assuming there was a coup and a massacre. Both of which ridiculous assertions are vehemently denied by the Junta and its supporters.
The difference is that Trayvon Martin was an American citizen and the 600 odd dead (and rising) Egyptians were only wogs. The injured still are.
That's racism.
