I heard on the radio that due to the late hour of the attacks, most of the casualties were Egyptian Muslims, not tourists.

If the world wants to stop Muslim terrorism, it should consider destroying a Muslim "holy shrine" every time an innocent victim is killed or slaughtered. It should also do as the Israeli's have successfully done, and kill any leader that supports or speaks openly in support of the terrorists. The Israeli's have dona masterful job of removinbg the cancer leadership that has attacked them time and time again. Wake up world!!! These killers and their leaders need to be sent to kingdom come immediately, as soon as they are known and identified.

Do you remember Anwar Sadat? Ruling Egypt must be a rather "interesting" and challenging job, no?

I'm just wondering if they've blamed Bush or Blair yet...

Well, then, Egypt would quit being the target of terror bombings if they just withdrew their troops from Iraq...

Egyptian analysts blame Israel (and Bush) for Sharm el-Sheikh terror attacks

I wonder if the Egyptians will use "profiling" techniques in their pursuit of the "bombers" -- Mubarak better watch out for the ACLU.

For sure, but that ain't keepin Condi from wadin into Egypt and promoting a radical replacement for Mubarak.

This administration appears determined to ignite a wildfire in every ME nation.

It doesn't change anything. Just pointing out the irony of their stupidity.

All of these unrelated car and suicide bombings are occurring globally now.

If we could just find some link between then all to help us determine who's behind it.

It's all so baffling.

Well.. it's not the Irish, or Italians, or Dutch, or Japanese, or etc. etc. that have been doing the bombing. It seems to be all Muslim, so maybe that's a good clue.

No, that's where you're wrong.

The President has repeatedly said that Islam "is a religion of peace".

Just this Wednesday, he said that Islam doesn't want to be the sole religion on the planet.

So it can't be them.

Maybe it is those Japanese. They did the suicide thing before in WWII.

Might be worth looking into.

When the egytians catch up with them do you think they will be getting glazed chicken (GITMO-style) -- there will be some "chopping" mid-east style and you better bet they will talk.

But the British press clearly stated that the latest person killed by the police was of an "asian" decent, just like Jackie Chan.
