As you read this article, a series of people-power explosions of different magnitudes are taking on regimes that claim to be democratic or working towards democracy. While Thailand and Ukraine have been witnessing huge demonstrations for the past few weeks with protesters accusing their governments of betraying their trust, in Egypt public protests in Cairo and several universities continue in defiance of the harsh measures taken by the military-backed interim regime which seeks legitimacy on the pretext that it is working to bring democracy.

The Muslim Brotherhood's political decisions could be criticised, said Chomsky, but one cannot ignore the movement because "it is part of the people". That's yet another reason, he added, for the coup leaders not to claim that they are acting on behalf of "the people" of Egypt. - See more at: http://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/americas/7834-chomsky-no-one-can-alienate-the-muslim-brotherhood#sthash.AWlknuVU.dpuf
