"19 Americans to stand trial in Egypt on Feb. 26"

       This article was founded in the LA Times, and was written by Amro Hassan. Forty-three pro democracy activists as well as nineteen Americans will stand under trial on Feb 26, over a political reform in Cairo. They will be tried on charges of illegally operating and funding foreign nongovernmental organizations to create and uprising in Cairo. The four based U.S. organizations are International Republican Institute, Freedom House, National Democratic Institute, and an organization that trains journalists. These organizations have been working illegally in Cairo and have been funded more than 26 million dollars. The Egyptians want to get rid of U.S. aid after this uprising.
       It is truly disappointing that the Unites States did such a thing. They are a powerhouse, and acted illegally. Why would they try to create a political mess in Cairo? I think they did this so they cover up the mess and look as if they could cause peace in any country, once again looking as if they are a flawless country. However, what they just did is low and probably ruined the reputation of America. It turned to such a big deal that Americans with high powers have been kept hostage in their own embassy. Egypt has also thought of getting rid of U.S. aid and depending on themselves only. This is going to be a disaster for the Americans.
