And to think that Egypt was once not too long ago a safe, popular tourist destination.

A friend who likes world travel says it is now unrecognizable from a decade ago.

Good post. Is the Obama Regime at it again and fomenting trouble inside Egypt? Zero’s plans for the Muslim Brotherhood to takeover and rule Egypt were foiled. I don’t think he has given up.

Of course, he won’t give up. Obama wants to rule the Middle East when his term is up in the U.S. That’s why he ruined Libya and tried to take over Egypt.

As should be expected. They were probably making a lot of money smuggling of weapons into Gaza.

Mubarak was a saint compared to the other despots and got along okay with Israel, turning our (or the Admin turning its) back on him in a sense is a lynchpin to all the trouble that has happened.

Very sharp and ironic comment!

While all this warfare becomes a “business”, tourism and pilgrimage are on a sharp decline, along with the incomes of the peaceful sorts of people.
