-OT-Middle East- Michael, it will NEVER EVER happen, regarding Egypt and Jordan taking over the disputed areas. The reason is because they don't want the Palestinian problem either. Jordan ALREADY HAD them and kicked them out in 1970. They then washed their hands of the West Bank because they didn't want the problem back again. Truth be told, they're very afraid of the Islamic Militants because if they get a foothold over Israel (which I'd bet against) it would only be a short time before militants started making waves in the other "Western friendly" Arab states.

OT***King Mubarek is at the end of his chain. Its been rumored that he is planning to build a new Pyramid in honor of his reign. It might help the unemployment situation in Egypt, and will permanently put him in the hall fame for mismanaging despots of the Middle East. However there is a lot of competition for the title. The rules are simple..."Who can rule the longest, steal the most money, and do the least for their respective citizens?"
