Even though I was born & raised in Egypt, the US is my country, too :) (I was granted citizenship, as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, within a couple years of arriving, here, so around a decade ago). Much as I am grateful for the many opportunities it provides, it saddens me deeply to see the direction it is heading in and, in turn, how it affects the rest of the world (as a superpower). Would that we have another MLK-- perhaps, we do, but he cannot be heard over the din.
