Maybe it's not important....Egypt has always been the top US aid recipient...second only to Israel if you count the US loan never repaid....not that the US ever pulled the purse strings and insisted on human rights, progressive democratic policies, the abolition of female genital mutilation.
For the most part, Americans don't seem to care about 'Foreign Policy' and seem content to continue the blinders until some catastrophe wakes them up.
Egypt democratically elects a leader...is overthrown.....ya might want to pay attention. Yet another brute the US supports in your name.
