Reply #7: In that sense, certainly.

I rather thought that might be why it appealed to Sharon,
sort of farming the job out to someone more suited to the task.

On the other hand, it is a task that Egypt does not now have,
and in which it will have to invest resources and time, and
which seems likely to be nothing but trouble, and for nebulous
advantages, but perhaps I miss something.

I wonder what your thoughts are as to what Egypt might gain from
this aside from the opportunity to go after the brotherhood?
