#1 I wish him luck. May he bring both ends of his bridge such jobs and prosperity that the people turn their thoughts from jihad and endless feud to making a better life for the children and grandchildren.

#2 I believe this is the less well known Moses bin Laden.

#3 My first thought was to agree, Trailing Wife. My second, due to my suspicious nature, was to wonder if this a front. Six cement plants already erected in a strategic area, when illegal arms shipments have been concealed under shipments of cement or in pipe for construction, besides aiding piracy or missile attack on passing ships, just sound like ulterior motives are at play here. Muslims never forget, and they are still po'd over the '67 war and loss of the Temple Mount.

#4 I'll be a Pollyanna and you air the thoughts produced by your suspicious nature, Thealing Borgia6122. Somewhere between us, hopefully, will lie the truth. As for the Temple Mount, the Muslims care about that about as much as they do about the Palestinians. Losing the '67 war (and '48, '56, '72, Intifadas I and II, and Lebanon I and II) to a bunch of uppity Jews is what really keeps them riled up, the poor dears. ;-)

#5 Any idiot trying to either bridge or tunnel under the Red Sea is just that - an idiot. All it's going to take is one big jolt from Mamma Earth and either bridge or tunnel will be very, very wet. The Great Rift Valley doesn't end at the water's edge in Djibouti. This is about as silly as trying to dam the Mississippi just north of New Orleans.

#6 OP, the way I see it is that everybody's better off when he's spending money on futile projects than on jihad.
