In the light of recent uprising and conflict in Egypt, my father expressed relief that I had already gone and returned from Israel. Right before that conversation I had read this article:

By the transitive property of geopolitical politics, Egypt's problem(s) are probably Israel's problem(s)...and Jordan's problems and Syria's problems. If you live in a region, you live in a region. However, Egypt is its own country, with it's own histories and cultures and politics. Give Egypt and it's turmoil some of its own time for its own mystical, historical transition before it's whisked away into the global media-history that we feed on now-a-days.
So as Egypt may or may not transition power, and people rise up and governments crack down all I can pray is that it is resolved efficiently, in the favor of the citizens therein and as peacefully as is prudently possible.
