re: #341 aagcobb

But Rick said we should have turned our backs on the Egyptian people.

He may be proved right on that score. We may end up finding the Egyptian people to have been unworthy of our support. “The people” are not always good or right after all; It’s entirely possible for them to be badly wrong or mindlessly belligerent. I don’t think the former applies to most people in Egypt, but I think the latter does apply in regards to Israel.
