Hey there!! Hope you've been well!!

Here's something a bit different, but a Foreign Affairs event..

The Egyptian government is directing that up to 300,000 pigs in Egypt be slaughtered out of fear of swine flu.

Now why is this important? Because the only people in Egypt who raise pigs are the Coptic Christians. And this is one significant method of undermining their economy.

It also serves to equate them with Satan, since demons are supposedly carried in Pigs.

The Coptics are already under serious religious and social persecution in Egypt. This may equate to turning up the heat.
