Guest speakers Part 2

So I know we spent part of the class trying to talk about the literature but since we really were more interested in our guest speaker, I think that is what this blog should be about. When we got on the topic of Egypt's perception of the United States things obviously got awkward. I felt as though she felt attacked by our questioning because she interpreted our argumentativeness as anger or offense when it really wasn't. I think Americans know a little about how the rest of the world views us. I though it was interesting when she said the United States is perceived as a servant to Israel for supplying them weapons. I wish KATIE had been there to help our argument but w/e. Though I understand disliking a country for supplying an enemy country weaponry I thought it was a little unusual to have no second options. I think a good discussion would have been to find out what Egypt feels the United States should do, or what thwy think we are actually doing.
