Israel should be rolling their tanks into the Sinai right now.

They should at least be planning it. Frankly, we, and even more so the Europeans, should be prepared to seize the Suez at the first hint that a new Egyptian regime will close it. The Nasser government did after all reaffirm the Constantinople Convention which guarantees that the Suez "shall always be free and open, in time of war as in time of peace, to every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag."
I'm not optimistic, though. These are the same people who called Bush a "war criminal" for enforcing Iraq's treaty obligations.
