I've Been Thinking:

Egyptian President Morsy is in China.

China was the second stop on Morsy's first foreign trip as president -- the first was to Iran. The China trip has been successful. China pledged $200 million in aid.

Morsy was brilliant in his decision to go to China even before he comes to the United States. He is reaching out to world power brokers and enticing them. First Iran, now China and on September 23 he will be in Washington, DC.

Morsy said something very important while in China. He said he was considering reopening the Egyptian nuclear program in an effort to provide clean energy.

That caught my ear.

Egypt is a massive provider of natural gas and oil. They are ions behind on issues of the environment and environmental protection. Why would Egypt want to reopen its nuclear program?

The Egyptian nuclear program was never an electrical alternative. It was always a small and experimental only facility which, over the years, was constantly cited for violations of nuclear safety issues. Now Morsy wants clean energy for Egypt.

This is a progressive sign in the new Egypt, one that we have so far only rarely glimpsed.
