Marathon Pundit: Egypt: No more Morsi--is Turkey next?

Do you remember a couple of years ago when the Occupy movement was claiming that it was an outgrowth of the protests against Egypt's de-facto president-for-life, Hosni Mubark? Well since then, the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood took control of the government. Now the military has removed the nation's president, Mohamed Morsi, and suspended Egypt's constituion.

Could Turkey be next? Its military has a tradition of overthrowing rulers who have strayed from the secular model created by the founder of the Turkish republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Clearly Turkey's president Islamist-leaning prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is doing just that now.
