And they DON'T promote violence, but would rather see peace, and would rather open the border to palestinians when they are attacked unlike hosni, when he closed the borders when Israel conducted the 2 week ish war, there were no hospitals in palestine or water or food, and the people were trapped when egypt closed the borders. I don't think that will happen again, the army has chose to keep the peace treaty with Israel that was in place before.<br />But we don't know what's going to happen with the new government.Alinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690962998237999316.post-23419680892792259692011-02-11T09:11:34.061-05:002011-02-11T09:11:34.061-05:00Bushra, I think US picked Iraq because there wasn&...Bushra, I think US picked Iraq because there wasn't enough of an argument to go to war for long in Egypt, thus Halliburton or Vice President Cheney not making any money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690962998237999316.post-12640047312997686852011-02-10T12:43:28.678-05:002011-02-10T12:43:28.678-05:00The problem is that when the US backs different gr...The problem is that when the US backs different groups, it knows very well what those groups do in terms of human rights abuses and corruption. The US govt picks and chooses who deserves democracy and who doesn't. For some reason the Iraqi people deserved "freedom" but the Egyptian people who have been protesting in millions haven't made it clear enough that freedom is what they want. <br /><br />Well written though--excited to read the next one :)Bushra Tobahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051145578363894716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690962998237999316.post-3714503883534370892011-02-10T12:36:40.418-05:002011-02-10T12:36:40.418-05:00I think the Pakistan Army should just handle it th...I think the Pakistan Army should just handle it themselves instead of hiring others.
