Which is how civil war starts. Like I said, civil war doesn't just pop up out of nowhere. It builds up. I'm not saying it is inevitable, but neither is it guaranteed that by staying in, the president is preventing civil war.

Perhaps it will, but perhaps it won't. Neither of us live in Egypt. Therefore, we cannot comment about the people's ability to live peacefully under his "rule" until September. Who is to say that a reformed constitution will make things more peaceful, anyway? If people want him out, he should get out.

When was the last riot concerning Obama leaving office? There is no civil unrest because of Obama being in office. The most violent protest against him probably took place on facebook. The United States isn't perfect, but we certainly don't have the same valid complaints that Egyptians do. If riots started happening everywhere because of something Obama did and the complaints were valid, he would be impeached.
