Z, I don't think there's any reason to find out... There doesn't need to be a reason. We're gonna "find out" one way or another just how ineffective Obama's foreign policy has been thus far. I prefer that we discontinue the aid, especially given our budget problems, but I can see the reasons why we should continue it. Whichever way we choose, however, needs to be backed by solid principles and policy. Denial doesn't count. Tenchusatsu

Hi SilentZ; Re Egypt attacking Israel while in the midst of a civil war. Silly things like that do happen. Maybe it's a good time to remember some history from the US civil war. At the start of the Civil War, the US had memories of two wars with Britain. Our relationship was not very good. Not only did the British trade with the CSA, they essentially recognized them allowing Confederate ships the same use of British ports that US ships had. They even sold the CSA warships which then were used to raid USA commerce. In 1861 there was even talk, in the US and Britain, of war and a lot of munitions got moved around. But the diplomats were sane enough to figure it wasn't in their country's best interests. -- Carl
