Aljazeera English documentary on Egypt: "A Nation in Waiting"

The documentary titles say this was made before the current outbreak of mass dissent in Egypt.

And when something like the current events in Egypt breaks out, to hear the American news you would think it suddenly sprang out of nowhere.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
