FILE -In this Aug. 14, 2013, file, photo, Egyptian security forces clear a sit-in camp set up by supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, Egypt. In the Middle East, it has often begun with a popular swell of street protests against long-entrenched dictatorial leaders with demonstrators inspired by burgeoning aspirations of democracy and freedom. But then the military moves in with ruthless, harsh force, either to prop up the leader and his family, or to safeguard and enhance their own longevity after one leader falls, taking over the country themselves.
