- I thought Mubarak's government was fighting the "fundamentalists".
- Attacks on foreign tourists, of late, are calculated to hurt Mubarak's
- government by cutting off tourist revenue. This is in an effort to
- achieve changes in Mubarak's SECULAR government.
-
- I don't know where you get your news about Egypt but it seems to be from
- very uninformed sources.
-
- Mubarak is one of the main people responsible for the latest claim that
- Iran is seeking to exert hegemony over the Middle East! He is very quick
- to blame what he sees as fundamentalists for many of the problems in the
- region. Your statement boggles my mind.
