#1 So the Egyptian invasion of the Sinai is the root cause of the recent bombing?

#3 When the Israelis held Sinai, the coastal resorts had clothing optional sections, to accommodate the Scandinavian tourists (as well as Israelis looking to try something that just wasnt done in Israel proper) The young Bedu men liked to come down withing viewing range to get a sense of what Western Civilization had to "offer"

#4 Just to be pedantic,

rear
v. reared, rearÂ·ing, rears
v. tr.

To care for (children or a child) during the early stages of life; bring up.

raise
v. raised, raisÂ·ing, raisÂ·es
v. tr.
To breed and care for to maturity: raise cattle.

My old high school english teacher drilled this set of definitions into us: you raise cows (makes milking motion), you rear children (makes spanking motion).

#5 Interesting. Where I came from the lesson was that one raised corn and reared children. The introduction of kids muddied the waters as one doesn't rear the offspring of goats.
