So, if I'm following this: it was just after hearing that Saudi Arabia would pick up any slack created by the EU and U.S. imposing sanctions that the U.S. announced that it would impose sanctions (cut off aid). Will the U.S./EU likewise punish Saudi Arabia for continuing to funnel money to the Egyptian military, or was this the plan, all along? Seriously, will the same companies in the U.S. smoothly continue to profit from this and just change the shipment address on their wares from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, or would that be too obvious, even for these guys?
Clearly part of a sentence is missing here: "Nur said that Elbaradei...". I very much appreciate your coverage of these events with the context of many years of study and contemplation of Egypt and the region. I was hoping you would shed some light on exactly this development, thus my pickiness about an abbreviated sentence. Please keep up the amazing blogging!
Hmm, what was the brief shot of the Sistine Chapel in there for? (God and Adam's fingers reaching toward each other - does such a painting exist in Egypt? - or is it some code relating to the religious affiliation of the editor? or just a mistake?).
