Egypt has no oil. Zero, zilch. However its is the world's biggest importer of wheat. mmmmmm Egypt simply provided stability and was an Islam free zone that recognised Israel's existence unlike all the other nations around Israel. The problem is if Islam fanatics take over then what ? By the way the Suez Canal accounts only 6% of world oil production. So even if its closed it won't be a disaster as vessels could ship around Africa - yeh it amy take a a couple of weeks more but so what? In fact the canal was closed for a long time about 8 months when Egypt and Israel exchanged handbags and it no impact on world trade. Im curiuos why folks from Israel are callled Europeans but look like and live in Arab lands? mmmmm
Cheap wheat you could confuse some folks in cities who may think its some product made in China- say - cheap bread
Funny you say that, Mubarak and Barack are Arabic words from the same root. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mubarak_(name)
Funny you say that, Barack is also an unrelated Hebrew word. That's from the second half of the second sentence. Thanks for the link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages see this part of the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages#Morphology:_triliteral_roots Barack (Hebrew or Arabic) and Mubarak are both from the root b-r-k "not to be confused with the unrelated Hebrew name Baraq" Baraq is from the root b-r-g see: http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/باراك_أوباما his name is from the root b-r-k not b-r-g, ك is k in arabic
