The election

I haven't posted for such a long time and no one reads it much anyway except for me but... our last trip to Egypt was not long after the fall of Mubarak and all the people were so full of hope.

Everyone was very optimistic about the future of Egypt, very hopeful for themselves and their children. Most of them, it seems, failed to recognize just how difficult the transition would be, and how democracy can so easily be corrupted by money and selfish motives.

Hopefully, whoever is elected president can put the good people of Egypt's interests ahead of their own.
