News of the Day

I have no idea what this means, but I don't like the sound of it. Apparently Egypt has an interest in rekindling diplomatic relations with Iran. The new president (is anyone calling him MoMo?) will attend a meeting of the non-aligned movement (who are they non-aligned with these days?) in Tehran next week. Unsurprisingly, Israel is concerned. As the U.S. pivots toward Asia, I wonder if the days of generous aid to Egypt are numbered, and if we might see some dramatic changes in the coming years.
