re: #119 Killgore Trout

Egypt is really fucked if Hamas gets a toe hold. As soon as they get bored they’re going to start attacking moderate Egyptian political parties and tourists make great soft targets. I’m not very optimistic about Egypt’s future.

Exactly. Moreover, if Egypt cannot and will not suppress Hamas bombardment of Israel, then ultimately that will force the US to cease sending military aid to Egypt. At which time the power and prestige of the generals will be lowered, and the Muslim Brotherhood will be able to trot out a conspiracy theory that “Israel ordered the US to turn on Egypt, because America is controlled by TEH JOOOS!”. And yes, I can see Hamas and its parent organization being that Machiavellian (though Machiavelli himself would think them fools).
