but one thing has been bugging me. He visited Giza on his way out of the Arab world, not Gaza!Before he left, I signed a petition encouraging him to visit Gaza, the location of a recent war. A war started by America's closest ally in the Middle East, a country that America gives up to $3 billion annually. I think he misunderstood the petition because he accidentally went to Giza instead. Instead of seeing the site of a recent war that destroyed public buildings and killed 1300 people less than 6 months ago, he saw structures that have been standing in the same place for over 4500 years. They haven't changed at all. For a president who stands on a platform of "Change We Can Believe In", I'm surprised he chose quite a stagnant landmark to cap his trip to the Arab world.
