Everyone should be paying close attention to the situation in Egypt

Egypt, the nation that gets the third highest amount of US foreign aid each year and sits close to Israel. Interested yet? It matters a whole lot who winds up in charge and what this may mean for similar citizen uprisings across the Middle East. Living this close to a major terror target historical uprisings like this matter. Nobody thought twice when the Taliban took over in Afghanistan other than that they were dicks.

Sorry American media, if you want the BEST coverage of this you're gonna have to put your prejudices aside and click the Al Jazeera feed in English. Their reporters can get places in the Middle East western journalists can't. It's amazing coverage. You can see the army in places starting to bond with the citizens.

What is your take on things?
