Yeah, we don't care if you give up your freedom to live under the thumb of a tyrannical dictator. We just want to be sure that if you do, that do it via some semblance of a free election process.
Egypt had a semblance of a free election process before, which routinely put the last government in power... but we're overlooking that little detail in our efforts to "change" the established balance of power, just because we can. And, just because we think it's a neat idea for which we will then pat ourselves on the back for accomplishing.
