The "problem" in Egypt apparently has nothing to do with the security of Israel.

Yet the furor in the media has erupted to the point that every 'story' contains reference to the very 'real dangers' ISRAEL faces because of the unrest in Egypt.

This is not honest reporting but media lining up to support an ignoble entity.

Incidentally, Egypt and Israel sighed a peace treaty in 1979 which has cost the United States about $4-5 BILLION per year starting in 1979 to perpetuity.

Of course Israel recieves $3 BILLION to Egypt's ~$2 BILLION per year, Israel having had its Air Force destroyed, preemptively, while it was on the ground.

Not!! Just the opposite.

Israel destroyed the Egyptian Air Force ON THE GROUND before a shot was fired in the 1967 war.

Thus, another preemptive invasion of a sovereign state in the region by the so-called Jewish state.

Sadly, America invaded Iraq preemptively for no good reason whatever on behalf of the squealing cowards in Israel!! That has never been the American way!

Four thousand USA military dead, many, many more wounded, and best guess of up to a half million non-combatant Iraquis killed. To say nothing of the $100s of BILLIONS squandered.

Even though there is no formal mutual defense treaty between the USA and Israel, we "respect that establishment of religion" SOLELY to protect its "right to exist" - and ignore those who would say that equity demands a more even-handed policy between Israelis and Palestinians.

Doesn't this situation anger anybody else?? The USA being at the service of a foreign entity despite the absence of a treaty?

Syria also looks interesting. The ruling oligarchy is Alawite, members of a sect of Shi‘ah Islam, dominating a Sunni Arab population, and the el-Assad "royal family" runs an extremely unpopular kleptocracy with increasingly close ties to Shi'ah Iran. This is NOT something the majority Sunni Arab population approves, and along with the poverty caused by the "inefficient and corrupt centrally planned economy" [1] the levels of popular dissatisfaction are at least as high in Syria as in Egypt.

Well, hell. When has any "centrally planned economy" NOT been "inefficient and corrupt"? Just look at Detroit.

Which is also turning Arab, come to think about it.
