The problem with that statement is that over here in Canada and the USA at least we don't generally see a lot of military regimes taking over the goverment and imposing arbitrary laws and penalties on the people like they do in Egypt. But if we did I'm sure that in time we'd have a lot of people out in the streets fighting back as well, either side-by-side
with cops as allies or against them. But it just doesn't happen here. Perhaps in the past, but not lately.
Thus the accusation of hypocrisy is ridiculous. Typical rhetoric from that part of the world of course, but uttery ridiculous. To think you can cause or have that kind of crap going on in your country and NOT be criticised by the rest of the more civilised world is beyond mindless.
