I think there is quite a bit of sense in what you said .. Ive been to lebanon, twice and you can see the devastation that is there and whilst its was peaceful whilst i was there, you could see that people were comfortable to a point but not calm. When we travelled, they were all a bunch of nerves even though there was nothing active.
However, I am a great believer that there is no smoke without fire. Egypt is smoking at the moment and i would not want to be there when and if the fire starts.
Top award for guerrilla marketing, too.
Agreed
I use to visit once a year for the Belfast Motor Show
I was flying an advertising hot air ballon , one day we landed with out problems in the Falls Road
We stayed in quite country hotel
then on return to England the front page of all the papers showed what remained of the hotel, we had been staying in, after "they" had driving a transit van, loaded with explosives, through the patio doors, the day before
I am afraid I never went back
At the end of the day you have to make your own mind up ,as what risks you take. The big risk in NI was not the IRA but a road accident as they had not introduced MOTs but you never read about MOTs in the press
President Mubarak is in de nile
And he's off.
I'm not sure a military Junta is the ideal replacement, but we'll have to wait and see.
Hearing weird things about the Egyptian military. It sounds almost like it's actually the largest corporation in Egypt which just happens to also have responsibility for national defence, rather then an 'armed forces' as we think of them here. One does suspect, however, that unless the generals can be persuaded that it would not affect their personal wealth and personal security, there won't be a general election and a handover to a democratic civil authority.
