I don’t think the common Egyptians have had a fair shake since the days of the Pharaohs. Which means, ever.

Then again, the penalty for stealing goods worth more than some amount of money (can’t remember, think it was a shilling) in 1776 England was death, I think.

Then again, the English were the only country that wouldn’t torture the templars when they went down. (To get a confession of funky wrong-doings. Surprisingly, only the tortured templars ever confessed.)

The question I’m thinking, I suppose, is whether a people’s history can be turned around, and how?
