Let's hope not. Most of them are still kids, and were under 10 years old during the Gulf War.

Egyptian Intelligentsia Protest Mubarak’s Policy
By Hossam El-Sayed, IOL Staff
CAIRO, March 21 (IslamOnline.net) – A group
of prominent Egyptian intellectuals issued a
statement protesting Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak’s televised address in which he
heaped blame on Iraq for the current American
military aggression on the Arab country.
This is the first time that members of the
Egyptian intelligentsia issue a statement
protesting a specific position of President
Mubarak since he assumed the helm of power
in the country 22 years ago.
The signatories vocalized disagreement with
President Mubarak’s judgment, which he
announced in a televised address to the nation
on March 19, that the Iraqi regime was to
blame for the Anglo-American military
aggression for not heeding his and other
leaders’ advice to get rid of weapons of mass
destruction, which the United States claims in
Iraq’s possession.
The war on Iraq is a colonial aggression waged by the United States not only on the
Arab country but also the entire Arab nation to control and exploit its riches and
colonize its peoples, charged the signatories who features intellectuals, journalists,
writers and legal experts.
In their hand-written statement of protest, a copy of which was faxed to
IslamOnline.net, the intellectuals reiterated support to resistance against the
American aggression and backed all forms of official and popular resistance in
defense of the Egyptian and Arab national security.
