If things go wrong with a puzzle, identifying the

culprits is easy; its the person who withheld

information. Mysteries, though, are a lot murkier;

sometimes the information we've been given is

inadequate, and sometimes we aren't very smart about

making sense of what we've been given, and sometimes

the question itself cannot be answered. Puzzles

come to satisfying conclusions. Mysteries often dont.

I would love more than anything to have a "conversation" on what people are thinking and what they know about whats going on in Egypt!?  What does it mean for us?  What does  the 'revolution' do for the people of Egypt  a year from now and in 10 yrs from now?  What are the repercussions for Israel? Do we (Americans) need to pick sides? Is it our job to spread democracy?  As an ignorant, ill-informed person looking in...it seems that what has happened in the last 20 days is a good thing, a really good thing.  Am I right?  And if I am, why? (can you tell that I dont really trust the mainstream media?!)
I found this photo and an opinion HERE, and then I wondered what kind of site this is Im visiting. Where to you go for your news information?  I just dont know enough!!!  Any thoughts and ideas and wisdom!!!?? Please share!!!
