Disillusionment.

"Egypt 3.0," July 7, 2013, three hits today. Don't know why; didn't remember that specific post. Clicked on it. Ah. I remember. The subject of that post, a column by Thomas L. Friedman, was one of the causes of my disillusionment with America. I defended Friedman in that post; said he didn't mean what he wrote. Then I changed my mind. It was one of the things that was the beginning of disillusionment. That was a bad year for me.
