Very nice and it touches on a tiny but important issue - military aid. If the US gave Egypt more economic aid than military, this problem might have been avoided. 1.3 BILLION is a lot of money, even if it's mostly virtual.
We play these games all over the place. We give military aid to Egypt (who still plans and expects to have a war with Israel), we give military aid to Israel to balance out their enemies, we give military aid to everyone. And the reason we give it is because they have to spend most of it on American military hardware. So the US government is giving money to another country who will in turn give it to US weapons manufacturers. And the scary thing is if the Egyptian government falls, who will have their hands on billions of dollars worth of high tech weapons?
