A Halt in Military Aid to Egypt
The gatekeepers of Democracy - Washington, has halted some military aid to Egypt. CNN is reporting that there is a "reprogramming" of some funds to the country. To the supporters of democracy within Egypt who have fretted that Washington has been inactive on the preservation and promotion of democracy there, I caution you that Washington is Washington and not Cairo. The administration in Washington is a rational one - one that surgically weighs and balances actions in delicate places and circumstances, and all the while recognizing the independence of Nation States. To the youth of Cairo, be patient, hold true to the ideals of democracy and non-violence. Democracy, the form of government that you have studied in class and that you now desire - is an enduring system; its gatekeepers will never deny a wanting people the opportunity to achieve freedom. Keep the faith.
