Many, including such folks as the New York Times' Thomas Friedman, cheered the arrival of the Arab Spring. Looks like they were a bit premature. Anyway, here is what's up in Egypt, and how the Obama administration is respoding. (Make sure you watch John Stewart's bit).

I have always felt that Pres. Obama is only casually concerned about foreign policy. How we are reacting to the current situation in Egypt does nothing to make me reconsider that view.
