I dont agree much with Thomas Friedman, but this fragment is acceptable: Wikipedia has a list of General Sisi’s medals. They include things like the Silver Jubilee of October [1973] War Medal and the Golden Jubilee of the 23rd of July [1953] Revolution. They fall into the category of looking for dignity in all the wrong places — celebrating Egypt’s past, not winning its future. When General Sisi announces that the medals he will henceforth seek are for defeating Egypt’s real enemies — like wiping out female illiteracy — or for building more science and technology high schools or for building a truly inclusive political system, I’ll become a fan. And the day he starts pinning medals on other Egyptians for their leadership in those same causes, Egypt will be a strong nation that won’t need a strongman. nytimes/2014/01/26/opinion/sunday/friedman-1-5000-500000.html?ref=egypt&_r=0
