You're welcome! It's tough to get a handle on, I know. This event is highlighting for me just how much I don't know about the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy, let alone about Egypt specifically.

I really, really wanna go to Egypt now. Not to see the pyramids--just to hang out with the people. 'Cause daaamn! And I also want to see the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, because a) it's gorgeous, and b) IT'S A LIBRARY, I WANT IN.

Clearly I need to get a fucking passport already, because just within the past couple of months, my list of Places I Wanna See has expanded from "umm... Europe?" to CHIAPAS AND TUNISIA AND ALEXANDRIA AND PALESTINE AND :D;;;
