That's how dictatorship work and why they often fail. You just can't keep this stuff working for ever. Egypt's dictatorship gov has managed to last this long which is impressive.

It's amazing what US funding can do for a government, isn't it?

  That is true. Not many people know that after Israel, Egypt is the second largest beneficiary of US foreign aid money. But I find it hard to judge the decision of the US gov when that deal was cut considering it's been 40 years. And support for the Egyptian communist gov goes back to Eisenhower.

    Egypt gets $1.5 Billion per year. No pocket change.

    Egypt doesn't have a “communist government”, even in name.
