Obama to make speech in Egypt.

Obama announces he will make a speech in Egypt. Not too surprising, considering Egypt is the historical center of the Arab world.

I have many thoughts on this, considering that Mubarak is an oppressive dictator that does not allow free elections, political opposition groups, freedom of speech, a free press, or freedom of assembly. (And the list could go on...) Oh, can't leave out that the Egyptian economy is in shambles. Clearly Obama can't address all of these (or even one) directly in a speech in Egypt, but he can encourage change in more sneaky ways, as he did in Turkey. More tomorrow.
