Interesting fact Mr.Carter

Former U.S President Carter , the Peace Maker said a very interesting fact in his lecture in the AUC at Cairo last Thursday "I wish I were there". He spoke about the American aid to Egypt as it started in his time. He said that President Sadat did not request any sum of money at all , he did not request any weapons at all , all what he had requested was the Wheat for the Egyptian people as they were exhausted from War and the population was increasing year after year and that's what he took from the Americans : Wheat.

So from this I understand that Mubarak changed the rule and requested financial and military aid starting from Reagan's cabinet !!??

Egypt is the second country after Israel in the size of the annual American aid . The sum of money we took from the Americans can build a whole nation.As Egyptian people the American aid is useless to us "not the Wheat" but the money, we do not see any change because of it.

Now the American aid is used by the congress and the American administration as means of pressure against the Egyptian Regime which is scared from decreasing its billions !!

Look to tell you the truth I do not think that we are going to die without it and I know that I am sure the people in D.C know very well where it goes and they shut up as long as their interests are kept safe in the region but... I do not know what to say !!??
