Egypt is now the big powderkeg that may go "boom!". And what is in this powderkeg? From Barry Ritholtz's The Big Picture blog:
When that democratically elected government in Egypt comes to power, as it soon will, it will control a standing army of 500,000, an airforce of over 500 planes, half of them new F-16s, over 4,000 tanks, 1000 of which are new Abrams A1As,a dozen batteries of the most sophisticated anti aircraft missiles in the world and an untold number of Scud B rockets–much more accurate than those which Saddam Hussein threw at Tel Aviv in Gulf War I . All supplied by the US, of course.As the author of the above bit points out: the average Egyptian utterly hates Israel. So how safe will the Israeli's be? Not very.
The idiotic US has armed all the parties in the Mid-East. It has set up the powderkeg. Don't be surprised if it goes "boom!"
