RT @MarwaMfarid: Good :) RT @Bassem_Sabry: Just saw former NSF spokesman @kdawoud in the hospital. He's recovering thankfully and is in good spirits.
RT @EricTrager18: At every moment since #June30 protests when Morsi/MB could've chosen politics, chose martyrdom instead. I fear today will be quite ugly.

RT @BBCKimGhattas: Brilliant: Ikea makes flatpack shelter, sends prototype to Syrian refugees. UNHCR tents not evolved much over years. http://t.co/llrseWk64n
RT @gaylelemmon: @tcwittes and that is a superb question as global indifference spreads and America is hobbled on the homefront by self-inflicted wounds.
RT @strobetalbott: @tcwittes - If first 2 fail, especially Iran, the chances go up that the third one - Israeli-Palestinian - will as well
@strobetalbott And US could face demands to do airstrikes in Iran, join war in Syria, & back unilateral Israeli moves in WBank. At once.
Wow. MT @evanchill: "Al Jazeera is always on at this location" & other NYPD insights fr spying on Egyptians in NYC. http://t.co/KtTME30p03
RT @markknoller: Pres Obama has signed bill providing 3 month extension to Special Immigrant Visa Program for Iraqi Nationals who aided US military there.
.@strobetalbott Three diplomatic high-wire acts, the 1st two intended to stave off calls for deeper, militarized US role. And if they fail?
RT @strobetalbott: Mideast Trifecta? Ike said solve insoluble problem by making it bigger. US may do that by tackling Syria, Iran & Arab-Israel simultaneously.
RT @SusanCross1: Looking forward to Sunday's 8th Annual Denim & Diamonds for #Autism event. @Act_Today is an amazing organization!
