Washington Post: Obama 'failed' on Egypt

Following the military coup in Egypt this week, overthrowing the democratically-elected President Mohamed Morsi, the Washington Post editorialized Friday that the U.S. should cut off aid to the country:

Having not spoken up against the excesses of Mr. Morsi’s government, the Obama administration has, with equal fecklessness, failed to forthrightly oppose the military intervention. But there should be no question that under a law passed by Congress, U.S. aid to Egypt — including the $1.3 billion annual grant to the military — must be suspended.
