At least, that is how I interpret "client" to be. At the very least, you and your "client" ars supposed to be on friendly terms and are supposed to be working together to achieve the same thing.<br /><br />By this definition, Egypt is no "client" of the US. As a general rule, Egypt is hostile to the United States and would be much closer to being an enemy than a friend or a "client." <br /><br />Essentially with Egypt its "give us your money or we are going to attack you or find ways to undermine your interests and by givning us your money we might thing about making nice with you." Basically Egypt pretends, at least in English, to be friends with America, but works clandestinely and in some cases openly as an enemy of America. <br /><br />At least if the Muslim Brotherhood comes to power, perhaps we can put an end to the treacherous duplicity that is currently Egypt. Also, perhaps this will mean an end to foreign aid for Egypt. After all, why support a state who is basically your enemy, as is the case currently. Now with an Iranian friend in power in Egypt maybe we can drop the charade once and for all. Oh well, at least we will save some money on foreign aid that we can't afford any way.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
