Islamic extremists in Egypt attacked a wedding celebration and killed people.

The Bush forces did that in Iraq, with far more casualties, but not intentionally as this time.

It appears that the violent massacre of the Muslim Brotherhood protesters has lead to a spreading violent Islamist uprising. The Islamists were not the initial aggressors; the military attacked them first. However, the Islamists' choice of targets shows that it doesn't take much to get Islamists to kill innocent people that they have dehumanized.

I think this will lead most Egyptians to hate the Islamists even more. I won't blame them for that, but they will be playing into the military's hands if they don't aim for democracy.
