"The timing of the move was a slap in the face of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who was about to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Mubarak hastily cancelled the meeting. The Egyptian government’s close cooperation with Israel is deeply unpopular with the Egyptian public."
The saying goes on the streets of Cairo that the meeting has been cancelled due to the suddenly again deteriorating health of Mubarak. Really, nothing Israel could or would do would convince Mubarak, the obedient servant, to cancel a meeting with his master. It is not only the close co-operation with Israel which is deeply unpopular with the Egyptian public - it's Mubarak and his cronies that are unpopular to say the least.
Good questions, Kathleen. Why not ask Al Jazeera directly - and any other TV station for that matter who refuses to show maps of the realities on the ground? Maybe if everybody reading your comment would just do that - addressing their local, national and international TV channels - we might get somewhere? I for one will do just that.
Not a bad idea to reduce the nuissance of noise - just one question bugs my mind: what's this got to do with religion? A Fatwa is a religious (legal) opinion. If the Vuvuzela (or this tremendous loud music at wedding parties) is damaging to the public health shouldn't the Ministry of Health step in? But I guess it's meant well.
