I've Been Thinking:
Three divers were arrested as they were trying to cut Egypt's underwater internet cable.
The cable enables access to the internet for the entire country. The Egyptian Navy discovered the divers and apprehended them.
There is no better portal to the outside world than the internet.
But that doesn't sit well with many Egyptians. These people believe that if the cable was cut, people would be focusing on important issues of Islam and not distracted by the sins and horrors of the internet.
A major part of Egypt does not want Egyptians to be corrupted by influences from the outside world.
President Morsi and the ruling Muslim Brotherhood party agree with this principle and yet, the navy prevented the cable from being severed.
This incident underscores the tension between Egyptian leaders and the armed forces. This incident is another glaring example underscoring how there is no real leadership in Egypt right now.
