Discussion on Egypt today in office. A colleague mentioned his surprise at the reaction of the US. I said I wasn't - US's reactions are very much in keeping with their interests and past actions. Which is OK - every country preserves its own interests. My colleague was indignant at the US - saying the US keeps professing democracy etc. Again, I told him, thats expected. No country is going to admit they only care about themselves - though that is precisely what (almost) every country in the world does.
They call me a cynic. Surprises me that I have to be "cynical" to see the obvious truth.
