Egypt -- This Middle East crisis is different from many before. Israel's decision to engage Lebanon's fragile state and carry out strikes deep within the country is serious. A good first step to defusing what could otherwise be a climactic showdown between regional powers is to talk to the Palestinian leadership, Hamas.
Cairo, Egypt -- Unless Tony Blair and the European leaders are contemplating sending a military force comparable to the one that the UN sent into Korea at the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 with several full scale divisions with supporting equipment and air power, then such military forces would be definitively sent into harms way.
Egypt - U.S. policy has weakened its alliances with democratic and moderate Arab regimes in the Middle East. The U.S. is completely ignoring their concerns, and most importantly U.S. pro-Israeli bias is compromising Arab defensive strategic policies.
