South carolina senator Lindsay Graham believes egypt is looking more and more like a failed state. Were going to have to suspend our aid because we cant support the reaction of the military. Reporter historically the u. S. Has been a sponsor of the Egyptian Military with 1. 5 billion dollars in aid the u. S. Sends egypt yearly, 1. 3 of it is for the countrys security forces. It was the military that ousted the elected president Mohammed Morsi and is shooting the president s supporters. Middle east analyst mohsin khan says even if u. S. Aid is suspended it will have little affect. Egypt needs something close to between 15 and 20 billion to get by. 1. 3 billion is not really going to be much.

Looking forward i think that the approach has to be that condition our future aid on specific steps towards the rule of law and return to democracy.

It was a clear attempt to brand the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. 800 people dead, 3,000 people wounded. It doesnt sound like restraint from your security forces. Some of that we witnessed ourselves. How far are you prepared to go down this path before suffering serious consequences . There is a distinction between casualties that occur by mistake, casualties that occur by way of collateral damage, and casualties that occur as a result of premeditated, rampant acts of violence against civilian facilities. Reporter today the military gave us a firsthand look at their security operation, across the barbed wire they were string up. The Muslim Brotherhood called on supporters to return to the streets in large numbers today. This is the focal point of the constitutional courthouse. But there is a huge military presence surrounding it. And so far the protestors have yet to arrive. We eventually saw a small group, about 500 yards away. There were reports that marches were cancelled because of the threat of snipers along the route. Today at least this show of force was enough to keep protestors away without a shot being fired. Reporter we had to leave that area because it was getting dark and there was a strict nighttime curfew in effect. We did see a few members of the Muslim Brotherhood there, but nothing like the demonstrations we had seen in cairo to leave people here to wonder whether that crackdown is working.
