Despite an annual payout of $2 BILLION to Egypt, they need more. Why do we continue to finance these dictatorships that despise us? Sure, I know we are supposed to be buying the peace, but this is crazy. Besides the $2B plus the additional $300M, the US and Egypt are working on another deal to provide $2B worth of loan guarentees. If we're going to be handing out this kind of money, perhaps it is time we take a step back and re-evaluate how well spent money like this really is. Does any of this money really help the general population of Egypt or does it only help out the top leadership? This also doesn't say much about US foreign policy that has to bribe countries in the region to limit government criticism of the Iraqi invasion.
