Next Generation of Foggy Bottom Moonbats Studying in Cairo

A glowing Roto-Reuters piece extols Americans who responded to the 9/11 atrocities by studying in Cairo, in search of an answer to the immortal liberal question, Why Do They Hate Us? If its spin is anything close to reality, we can look forward to another generation of seditious moonbats in the State Department, eager to go native at the first opportunity.

Professors at the American University in Cairo call them "September 11 kids." In the heart of Egypt's capital the university with its arabesque buildings and gardens of palm trees is a new hot spot for Americans studying abroad.

Drawn by curiosity about the September 11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center in 2001, hundreds of American students are venturing to the Middle East, eager to learn Arabic, study Islam and cut through media stereotypes as they prepare for careers in intelligence or diplomacy.

Flying planes into buildings sure gets attention. Appallingly, it's largely positive attention.

Natasha George, a 38-year old Texan, decided to study at AUC in Cairo after her brother Michael deployed to Iraq with the U.S. Air Force.

"I wanted to understand how we got into a position where we were invading a country with no real reason," she said. "I wanted to get a first-hand look and I didn't trust the information that the U.S. media was reporting."

Whereas the rabid anti-infidel propaganda spewed by the state-controlled media in Egypt is utterly reliable. But it can hardly be worse than al-Reuters:

Many students say they came to the Middle East to try to understand the widespread anger in the region over U.S. policies. Most say the Arab world does not resemble the violent place they say the U.S. media often portrays.

Tell that to the 62 tourists massacred at Luxor, one of whom was slit open so the terrorists could stuff a leaflet into his torso, calling for the release of lefty lawyer Lynne Stewart's comrade Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman.

Here's the scary part:

Niambi Young, a graduate student at Tufts University in Boston, already has a job lined up with the U.S. Department of State. A Fulbright scholar, she is studying Arabic at AUC and hip-hop in the Arab world.

Twenty years from now, one of these moonbats will be Secretary of State.
