Knowing the Mubarak system, the answer is definately-yes.<br />It seems this is the key. Greed. Their probably was a rumour & it was probably true. 1986 -2011. A hell of a lot of conscripts made a hell of lot of people rich over that period in a poor country. <br />Its not necessary to go to such roundabout methods to get rid of one man, however honest he may be.<br />I 've found leftists usually right when it comes to problems with the economy. Islamists don't really have a clue. Most right-wingers don't really understand how economies flourish without repeated crashes such as we saw in the US.<br />By the way what is the MB plan for the economy? How are they going to boost tourism & encourage people to spend their holidays in Egypt? How are they going to deal with Egyptian dependancy on food imports? Or are they going to rely on Inshaallah and the rich Saudis? <br />Iran,Saudi & the Gulf have oil? Free money. Egypt has people more valuable -IMO depending on how society & the economy is ordered. You can't be fatalistic when it comes to whether or not your children have food to eat. Revolutions usually occur when this is in doubt.pirooznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-35297547705884966802012-02-26T07:45:34.958+02:002012-02-26T07:45:34.958+02:00Thank you again for a look into the culture and so...Thank you again for a look into the culture and society of Egyptian life.
