The two billion dollars/year the U.S. hands Egypt was given as a reward by Congress for the original Camp David Agreements when Egypt agreed to halt all belicose actions and statements directed at Israel. This past year Egypt has broken these agreements and warned of attacking Israel in its knee jerk support of the Intifada.

Osama el-Baz said the United States would be well advised to end its strikes against the Taliban regime and the al-Qaida terrorist network as soon as possible, and make a 100 percent effort to avoid hitting civilians. America should also stop its campaign during Ramadan, Islam's holiest month and a time when Muslims feel closest to God and their faith, el-Baz told reporters. Ramadan begins in mid-November. Continuing to bomb Afghanistan at current levels during Ramadan would be an ``affront'' to Muslims everywhere, he said. However, when asked about possibly suspending the strikes, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Monday stressed the urgency of stopping the terrorists before they strike again. Al-Qaida and its leader Osama bin Laden are prime suspects in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. The U.S.-led strikes began Oct. 7 after the Taliban refused to hand bin Laden over to the United States. El-Baz has been Mubarak's political adviser since the Egyptian president took office in 1981. Egypt has since emerged as one of Washington's closest and most reliable Arab allies. Egypt, which battled its own Muslim insurgency in the 1990s, was providing information to the United States to help in the pursuit of those behind last month's attacks, el-Baz said. Several of al-Qaida's senior members are Egyptians. ``We were not asked to contribute to any military action,'' he said. While emphasizing the United States' right to retaliate, el-Baz said there would have been less opposition in the Islamic world to the strikes if Washington had first sought approval from the United Nations. He said there was a need for convening a global conference on terrorism under U.N. auspices to draw up ``general rules'' for dealing with terrorist acts wherever they may occur. ------------------------ Yahoo!
