I'm not so sure Egypt is all that great of a place for an American to visit, either. I'd love to see the Spinx and pyramids, but I've been to Saudi and Israel twice on work related trips and definitely got a bad vibe from both. I can't imagine Egypt is much better for Americans.....
Egyptians were cheering the 9-11 attacks on that day as well. I won’t travel there for at least 50 years so that every one of the rotten people who did that is deceased and won’t be there to spit in this American’s food.
As an American visiting in Eastern Europe in 2001 (pre-911), I still had leftists heckle me about being from America with that president George Boosh.
