U.S. grants Egypt $1.3 billion -- poll says Egyptians don't want it - latimes.comWhat an amazing statement!
I doubt if it's accurate in view that the Egyptian government is very good at pretending to be friends of the West on one hand and on the other hand greedily accepting as much money as possible.
You should tell the Egyptian government your viewpoint.
Also please explain where Egypt is going to get aid if and when America stops providing this help.
There is around 87 million Egyptians, that means you're precious billion dollar if it actually goes to the Egyptian people (and the bulk of which of course doesn't and goes directly from tax payer to an american war company to support a military dictatorship no less) makes up a measly 11 dollars per person, you seriously expect to buy those people off with 11 dollars each?
Just so you could get a point of reference, a billion dollars is one-twelfth of what Egyptians spend on smoking per year.
