It doesn't look like a heathy place to be at the moment.

seems the military are having trouble keeping the looting under control.

Muslim Brotherhood taking advantage.

[xerxes]

Doesn't look like it. My guess this is the government's doing; trying to sow chaos and undermine the protestors are criminals.

Some of them are criminals. People who are prostesting for freedom usually don't stop and take the time or resources to:

$1:

After days of escalating chaos, gangs of armed men attacked at least four jails across Egypt before dawn, helping to free hundreds of Muslim militants and thousands of other inmates. Gangs of young men with guns and large sticks smashed cars and robbed people in Cairo.

If this revolution is taken over by radical Islam, which looks like it's happening and Mubarek is thrown out the world is gonna be in for one big giant shitstorm since the first order of business of the new rulers of Eygpt will likely be to tear up the treaty with Israel and then attack them dragging along every other radical Muslim state.

Welcome to the Six Day War part II folks, cause this isn't gonna end nicely.

If what you say happens, maybe it's a good thing, since Israel will kick butt again and shut everybody up for a bit. At least in the short run.

Whats your thoughts on this?

Israel agrees to some Egyptian troops in Sinai

CTV CTV:

Israeli officials say they have agreed to allow Egypt to move several hundred troops into the Sinai peninsula for the first time since the countries reached peace three decades ago.

Under the 1979 peace treaty, Israel returned the captured Sinai to Egypt. In return, Egypt agreed to leave the area demilitarized.

With street protests threatening the Egyptian regime, the officials say that Israel agreed to allow the Egyptian army to move two battalions, about 800 soldiers, into Sinai. The officials say the troops moved into the Sharm el-Sheikh area on Sinai's southern tip, far from Israel, on Sunday.

The officials spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has banned the government from discussing the situation in Egypt.

They've gotta be getting ready for it as a worst case scenario. I just wonder how the US will react if this happens?

I kind of expect that we'll see a large US arms shipment to Israel right away if Mubarek falls, just to send a message to the new rulers of Eygpt and any other countries who figure it's payback time.

Maybe it's that old case of "keep your friends close but you're enemies closer"?

I can't help but get the feeling if they're doing this that they may be planning to back some General who'll take power with the army if Mubarek falls?

Who knows but it'll be intersting to see how it plays out in the next few weeks.

I can't see a 'new' Egyptian government wanting to mess with Israel right now. There will be enough in-fighting, executions, scores to be settled etc without trying to poke the Jews in the eye.

That reminds me, I wonder if Hezbollah is using this time to smuggle items through the border...
