A Different Drummer

Some powerful images courtesy of Vanity Fair - some very Cairo style street scenes in there. The hyperactive editorialising on Vanity Fair's behalf - the into tells that they show images of a country "sowing the seeds of fundamentalism" and people "seething with resentment" seems a little bit extreme - but hey, you gotta sell magazines, and I guess an extreme lead sells these days when discussing anyhting Middle East related.

For me though the intro isn't really backed up by the beautiful pictures, with mainly show the Cairo that I know and love - plenty of people showing extreme mental and physical strength and dignity, despite the conditions of decay and abject poverty that often surround them.
