It's hard to imagine being an American, what their lives have been like. Make no mistake, there are a lot of things in the US that are broken, but we have the opportunity to at least address the issues. Many Egyptians had to leave their own country to find work, as opportunities there are scarce. Around 40% of the population live on $2 a day or less, that is not living, it's barely existing.
I have gotten caught up in the unfolding drama, one of my friends lost a family member in a shooting. But the Egyptians did it and they did it with class, their heads held up. It's amazing to see all types of people, young, old, poor, educated, standing in Tahrir Square. asking for nothing more than what we all should have a right to ask for, our freedom.
Mabruk to the Egyptian people! It will be exciting to see what unfolds in Egypt now.
