Water rights have always been in the background of a lot of conflicts and in the forefront of some. This current disagreement could get very nasty.

Instead the practicing invading Israel in the Sinai, the Egyptian military should be looking south.
I also think this kills Mubarak's dream of diverting water to create a second river.

The movie, Chinatown, and the Klamath Falls controversy, and the battles over the usage of the water from the Rio Grande river. We’ve got water issues all over the place in this country too.

Control the water, control everything......ask Saddam.
Gotta love that World Bank, just another Keynesian scheme with good intentions and disastrous results.

THE EGYPTIAN DOG AND THE MUZZIE CATZ
The Egyptian dog and the Muzzie Catz
Side-by-side on the river bank satz
The British lords and Clinton at State
Appeared to know as sure as fate
There was going to be a terrible spat
The only question was the date
One morning where the animals satz
They found no trace of dog or catz
But the truth about the kits and pup
Is this: THEY ATE EACH OTHER UP!
Let all the thirsty Muzzies attack each other with missiles and scimitars so they forget about Israel for a while.

Captain Marchand of the L'Infanterie Coloniale arrives at Fashoda on the White Nile with the intent to claim it for France France will then construct a dam to control the Nile's water to Egypt and thereby control Egypt. Marchand is ensconced in a fort at Fashoda with 600 Senegalese riflemen, but he is confronted by Kitcherner's Army, victorious at Omdurman, The French accede to British control of the Nile.

California is certainly doomed.
A leftwing SCOTUS will certainly take the international Nile Precedent to allow Utah, Nevada and Arizona control over the rivers flowing into the Colorado and deny California any right what so ever to any of the water.
If it is precedent in Africa then certainly it must be followed in the Southwest.
