Richard Engel, NBC News' Chief Foreign Correspondent, has been reporting on the uprisings across the Middle East over the last several months. He reported on the weeks of protests in Egypt and was in Tahrir Square for the celebrations when longtime President Hosni Mubarak was ousted. Since then he has spent weeks in Libya reporting on the rebels who are battling against Moammar Gadhafi.
Where is Egypt headed now? Will the fighting in Libya last? What is the U.S. role in Libya? Has the region really changed? Will the rebellions continue to spread? And how will U.S. interests in the region be affected?
He responded to readers' questions about the Middle East - from Egypt to Libya to Syria earlier. Click on the link below to replay the chat.
