#1 I have a feeling Egypt is setting up a PA takeover of Gaza.

#2 What's the point of going to war if you don't get anything out of it except used up rockets, 900 dead hard boys, and lots of rubble?

Sounds totally insane, right? I have an explanation for this, but it involves Game Theory and is rather long. Hint: the HamAsses don't use the same evaluation function you and I do.

#3 NO surprise here - historically, both Egypt + Jordan prefer to have as little or minima interaction wid the Paleos AMAP ALAP.

Egypt wants no Paleos in the Sinai Desert, outside of Egypt-claimed Gaza Strip, while Jordan doesn't want any more inside Jordan proper outside of the Jordan-claimed West Bank.

NO NEW PALEO AIR-SEA PORT = MORE PALEO-SPECIFIC ECON, NATIONAL DEPENDENCY ON ISRAEL + WEST, NOT THE ARAB LEAGUE.

The poor Paleos will continue to be a "Govt-People widout a Country" [territory], + their Muslim neighbors like to keep it that way.

#4 Hey, it was worth a shot, right, boys? Especially if somebody else was gonna build it. And pay for it. Like always.
