K - ...I prefer that we use our money (and the rest of the West's money) to engineer peace. It can be done. A key component of the Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement was the money we promised and keep sending yearly to Egypt. ... In other words, a continuing bribe to help entrench and corrupt unpopular political leaders and encourage them to respond to the bidding of the US. This is probably a good trade from the pov of both sides, but I suspect that Egypt's peace has more to do with the realization that pursuing an alternate policy wrt Israel would quickly make Egypt even more of a political, economic and military basket case than it is already.
