Good for Egypt, if true. An Islamist regime with no respect for minority rights is “democracy”.

A good time to point out the difference.

I had one of my guys in Egypt in April. We gave him hazard pay. Glad none of ours are there now.

I dont want to jinx anything, but any result here should be better.

Do you know people had been digging up ancient tombs there to look for treasure? Whether desparate people cause no tourism or the standard Islamist hate for “pagan” things i dont know.

I’m glad your colleague returned safely-

I read somewhere that tomb robbing was enjoying a comeback in Egypt-my guess would be the lack of tourism, so they figure why not loot the last treasures-it is such a huge part of their economy-with good reason. I think they were right, and Morsi needed to go-he had killed the economy.
