American Embassy in Cairo should be opened now!

[Samoray 165]

I know actualy what i said. I just got back form Egypt last night. I know actualy what is going on in Egypt. What is going on is not so uncommon. But the police are being extreme to regain control. And there playing christians and muslims against each other. When my husband had to go to a meeting in Alexandria we was told if we were stopped to not stop. Because the police has the escaped prisoners terrorizing ppl so the police and come and save the day. In Cairo the police is being puppet masters. But this is a not a new thing. How well they hide things. Thousands of ppl go to Egypt each year for tourism and do not have the slightest idea what is going on. And us ladies that go and spend time with our DH's may or may not pick up on it and it is not spoken about a lot. Because that is the norm for most ppl. But now the whole world is wiser to what is actually going on in Egypt. There was times my husband said nope were not traveling into Cairo today, it is to much of a risk. A risk for me not him. Because this is almost normal life. Ppl in Egypt are ready to move on with there lives. But were all stuck on is it safe. Well techinaly not really and it will not be for a while. They have a upcoming voting on some changes the police are trying to make. It will not be techincaly safe till the police are controlled. A lot of things are at play right now, that many do not know. But i do not think the poster should be considered childish because he is ready to move on with his life, and get back to normal. Liyba is in worse shape then Egypt ever was and the American Embassy is open there.

The Muslim/Christian conflict was made by the former regime long before this revolution, he used that tactic to divide them so he can rule them, i am thinking Mubarak had this country in deep corruption that even though he stepped down, he didn't take with him problems that he got us into for 30 years so it is gonna take a long time to recover from it, but i believe in the Army to run the country and i believe in this transitional cabinet, i am saying NO for the new amended constitution next Saturday, these amendments are like Restoration of a building that has already fell apart.

[thelastpetitioner 218]

there is a price we all have to pay as middle easterns for freedom,the question is how important is it to you.would you rather have hosni mubarak as your president or wait a couple of more months and get your visa as a free Egyptian?

Is it just me, or does it really annoy anyone to read posts that are riddled with misspellings and awful grammar??? And, I am NOT talking about the foreign posters. I am talking about the American posters. Please proofread your post before hitting the button!!

I would choose dignity over having the Visa fast

Sadly I don't think proofing would help.

Unfortunately I fear you are correct.

Take note of this line:

The U.S Embassy in Cairo remains on ordered departure status for dependents, but most employees have returned, and the Embassy is resuming normal operations.

I returned from a trip to Cairo recently and I can second what Angel Eyes Yuseef reported. My fiance would not let me venture out too much in the city. We stayed very close to my apartment, which was in a very nice and secure part of town. I found it especially concerning that my fiance was worried about going out as he's never been worried about it before. He also stated that there are still many convicts loose on the streets, robbing and assaulting people. His belief is that things will improve maybe toward the end of the year if the elections go smoothly and grant a favorable outcome. I am worried about the country and its people. I hope and pray for things to get better!
