Egypt has Hezbollah in its sights
By Sami Moubayed

DAMASCUS - The relationship between Egyptian officialdom and Hezbollah secretary general Hassan Nasrallah has never been warm, to say the least.

But political differences exploded last week when Egypt announced the arrest of 49 people accused of being members of Hezbollah, planning to carry out sabotage attacks on Egyptian territory and bringing down the government.

There's a happy medium between just pasting a link with no explaination text, and copying the whole damn article. This thread is not in that happy place.

This looks like it might help Egypt with the western world and Israel especially, but it might piss off the rest of the middle-east. Expect to see some heat being thrown around before long, even if it's only a minor amount of it. Might prove to be a problem.

They've been in this situation since Sadat if not prior. It's nothing new.

And a small correction: the Shah in Iran was thrown out by students/communists who had no plan to fill the void. The religious radicals used this to take power.

Stupid Egypt, stop making your forefathers spin in their pyramids.
