#6 How about their Saudi brothers taking a bit of the money they spend on air-conditionned harems and giving it to Egypt?

Why in th hell are we supposed to give money to people who will repays us with bombs in our trains and planes?

#8 Sure, go ahead IMF. Nothing like throwing good money after bad. Just puts off the inevitable.

#9 Yes, they continue to send damage control parties to the flooded engine room. No one returns or calls back. Strange, very strange.

#10 Damage control in the sense that that the Euros don't want waves of Egyptian refugees, the current US administration has thrown its lot in with Morsi and the MB, and the 'developing' nations that are part of the IMF don't want to establish a precedent that may impact them.

#11 I concur. Whereas the Pro-Morsi crowd in Washington embrace the nocturnal emission of so-called moderate Islam, Europe has felt the Islamic sting and correctly senses a potentially tragic reoccurrence. I fear our cousins are ahead of us on this one. Notice how infrequently we hear the term "Arab Spring" coming out of the administration ?
