Egypt has had many generations gaps due to the the fundamentals and beliefs of who ever is in charge. An article posted in Al-Ahram pleads "If one wishes to assess the achievements of various generations of Egyptians, one has to differentiate between the achievements of leaders and those of the nation. One has to assess not only the policies, but the end result. The history of contemporary Egypt, since the 1952 Revolution, can be divided into two parts. The first covers the 1950s and 1960s, a generation that saved the country's wealth. The second part covers the 1970s and 1980s, a generation that squandered the country's wealth...... We now have a generation that has forgotten how to fight foreign pacts. Instead, it prefers to stay on the good side of the Americans and Israelis. The result is that the Arab world has never been more vulnerable than it is today, when imperialism and Zionism threaten to shape the present of the region, and its future."
