I’m afraid that we Americans don’t quite understand that our country has been hijacked by forces that believe our Constitution is about some penciled comments on a piece of paper, easily erased and modified, and that protection from the forces of fictitious evil is more important than freedom.
The Egyptians understand a lot more than we do about this and what it takes to get and keep freedom. We Americans think it is about having a right to watch the NFL or Dancing With The Stars at will while everything else from our privacy to home security is A-OK to sacrifice.
