You're on, mouth. We're going to have some new rules, though. We aren't going to play by AS rules. You make a claim, you back it up. Otherwise I ban you. Got it? 1956: For example, Egypt sought foreign aid in building the Aswan Dam project which would control the wild Nile River. The United States and Britain, major players in the West, declined to help Egypt because of her political and military ties to the Soviet Union. IOW, contrary to your stement that the West withdrew from an agreement with Egypt, THERE NEVER WAS ONE! Message 22672201 The "international community" (I assume you mean the West) NEVER AGREED to finance the dam! Got any other lies you want to peddle? As part of Egyptian President Nasser's nationalist agenda, he took control of the Suez Canal zone away from the British and French companies which owned it. In other words, as I said before, he stole it. historyguy.com There's your source. At the same time, as part of his ongoing struggle with Israel, Egyptian forces blocked the Straits of Tiran, the narrow waterway that is Israel's only outlet to the Red Sea. Did you know a blockade is an act of war? What was this then? The war was started by Egypt when it imposed the blockade. The Israeli invasion was simply response to Egypt's act of war. You make such a big deal out of the US "violating international law" by invading Iraq. WHY does Egypt get a pass on this? Eh? Why is it not held to the same standard? Could it be anti-Semitism on your part?
