EGYPT

     There has been a lot of talk about things happening in Egypt. I really don't pay attention to things like that. The only reason i watch the news is the get the weather report. I knew that there were protests going on (didn't know why) I also knew that the President stepped down. So in order for this blog to be created I had to do a little research. 


     The President, Hosni Mubarak, resigned on Feburary 11 after weeks of protesting from the Egyptian ppl. The ppl of Egypt just want a government that isn't corrupt. Before this revolution they had no freedom and poverty was all around. Now they are being promised a presidential election in September.


     I'm happy that the Egyptians won their freedom. Things like this make me think. Why is it that leaders so often forget to lead. Why do they hurt the ppl that they are supposed to be helping. We look back in history at all of the terrible things that have happened and say things like "How did we let that happen?" or "Something like that will never happen again." If we just open our eyes and look around the plains and desserts and cities of the world we will see that history does repeat itself. We do let terrible things happen. But we can stop some things from happening. That is what the ppl of Egypt did. They stopped things from getting worse. They stopped what could of turned into war and genocide.
