Where are the ‘new guards’ for the ‘new’ Egypt?

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes…But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce [a people] under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
-From the 1776 US Declaration of Independence

You have to wonder if Thomas Jefferson felt a little self-conscious when he added the above reference to “new Guards” that would protect the “future security” of the United States to the Declaration.

In 1776, military victory over King George’s armies was far from guaranteed. At that point, who knew if the Americans could defeat the redcoats arrayed against them, let alone create and sustain a functioning government? Talking about “new Guards” must have seemed premature.
