Default Law of Unintended Consequences-Arab Spring.....

Egypt To Prosecute 44 Workers, Including 19 Americans, After Raids On Rights Groups | Fox News

Since one of the 44 is the son of Sec of Transportation Ray LaHood, it isgoing to be on the front burner.....For Egypt, it is not a step in the direction of democracy.

Should be interesting.
Look at it this way, though. One less country to be sending billions of military aid. I wonder how that dynamic will play into this "trial". I really have no sympathy for any country that conducts its business in a 1930s fascist manner. Tell them we'll keep paying them, get the prosecution called off, call all Americans home, close the embassy and shut them off until they join the 21st century. Screw 'em.

Why do our presidents (BUSH / OBAMA) go over there, Kiss Them & Bow To Them, they are all rat bastards over there in that hell hole called "The Middle East" they treat women like Donkeys and their favorite passtime is slaughtering each other.

You would think so but with a weak leader like Obama... we are going to going to increase our aid...

From the article... need to read the whole thing. Does not sound all that weak to this viewer.

Quote:
For the money to flow, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must certify that the Egyptian government is supporting the transition to a civilian government, including holding free and fair elections, and implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association, and religion, and due process of law.

In addition, the law says that none of the aid, military or economic, can be spent unless Egypt is meeting its obligations under the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty.

Smart way to do it. It puts the onus on Egypt to honor its commitments or give up the aid....

Those commitments have nothing to do with democracy they are entirely focused on their relationship with Israel, so there is no attempt here to pressure them into behaving like a civilized society.

Maybe I am wrong, but according to the article.. this sounds like they have to behave like a civilized society.

It will depend in a large part on what happens to those NGOs who run charities who they are threatening to put on trial. It goes front and center when one of them is the son fo a cabinet secretary ( Ray Lahood)....
