I'd suggest the Egyptian President go to war one at a time. My first thought, go for Germany, but if you can really do it in 3 months, go for the US, this administration will apologize. Israel might be a bad idea.

“Israel might be a bad idea.” Not really. We’ll just have to keep negotiating with the PA and observing the Camp David accord as the tanks advance and the missiles land, or risk the administration’s ire for destroying American-made armaments and killing innocent Egyptian infantrymen.

So, the NeXT transit of Venus is June 5 - June 6 2012. Where have I seen June 5-6 before?

Anyway, during the year 2003 there was a lot of talk about the upcoming transit of Venus (2004), and of course the next Iraq war.

So I decided to look back at the big news stories from the Islamic world from the previous transit (of Venus).

1884 - 1892 were the last transit dates and look here, England occupies Egypt in 1882! They viewed Egypt as a failed state and were going to bring them into the modern world and... and never mind.

Oh yeah! June 5-10 1067, the Six Day War. Oy!

Buckle up cause the ride just gets wilder!
