- <p> Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has consistently ignored
- Muammar Gaddafi's repeated calls to merge the two countries in
- a pan-Arab union. But economic necessity is drawing Egypt and
- Libya closer together. In the interest of improved relations,
- Mubarak is shrugging off the Libyan's antics. (A recent Gaddafi
- stunt: using a tractor to demolish an Egyptian border post.)
- Earlier this month, when Mubarak visited Tripoli for a 12-hour
- summit, the Egyptian leader said his country welcomed economic
- cooperation with Libya and expressed predictable support for
- "the rights of the brotherly Palestinian people." Western
- diplomats say Gaddafi may return the favor by allowing as many
- as 1 million Egyptians to seek employment in Libya.
