Via Tim Blair, a new blog from Egypt: Hello From the land of the Pharaohs Egypt.
This is what he had to say about Iraq:
Iím afraid almost no one shares my views in Egypt. Brainwashed by a completely unbalanced media, the majority of Egyptians do not give a hoot about the future of Iraq as long as they see the US in trouble. Nobody stops to think about how Iraq can evolve into a decent nation, they are busy praying for more chaos to prove that the US was wrong. I am totally ashamed to say these words and I do not want to appear as if I am ìtarnishingî my own beloved country, but I was asked a question and I have to be truthful in answering it. I also want to point to the fact that this sickness is not just in Egypt but in all other Arab countries (not mentioning Western Europe!) apart from Kuwait and Iraq.
He truly sounds like an interesting blogger, and one with whom I would love to discuss many an issue.
Welcome to the blogosphere, neighbor!
