The first post in my newly-revived Blog and I don't have much to say.

I guess the highlight of the weekend was hearing a talk by Terry Waite at the American University in Cairo. To refresh your memory, this is the hostage-negotiator (among other jobs) who was held hostage for 5 years in Lebanon starting in 1987. He spoke on the roots/causes of terrorism and it was very thought-provoking (and even entertaining b/c he's a funny guy!)

This was quite a relevant topic b/c of the bombings in Jordan on Thursday.
