The BBC has reported that Palestinians in Gaza have managed to dig past the bomb-proof, super strength steel barrier the Egyptians have been building (with financial backing from the US) in order to stop the smuggling of milk, food and other essential goods into Gaza. proof that necessity is the mother of inventions. Meanwhile tyrant Husni Mubarak gave a speech yesterday where the main points he made sure people understood perfectly were that there will be no change to the current constitution, no change for the current government, to pay raise for the employees in the public sector and no end to the emergency laws the country are under. BUT on a more happier note, he said the elections will be fair!
And here is an interesting article on the New york Times on the American University in Cairo, which not only reflects education in Egypt but in most Arab countries and state run educational establishments across the middle east.

We live in a messed up world.. and No I didn't just find out about that.. :)
