Had a bunch of things all lined up for a post, but then I learned of the news about Dahab and I just didn't feel like posting anything else.
I really don't know what to say, reiterating what a tragedy this is stating the obvious.
Between this and what was (is?) happening in Alexandria, I really don't know what Egypt is coming to. Are things going way down or is it just me being out of touch and watching things from afar?
The worst thing about this trend of explosions is that they are occurring at a frequency that's low enough so that whoever who did it can get away with it, and yet high enough that they are effectively killing tourism all year round.
I really can't see how anyone whatever his motives are can justify killing/injuring hundreds of people and effectively screeching economy to a grinding halt.
If you're opposing the government what good is it killing tens of people with a bomb and then killing hundreds or even thousands more over the course of the following years with unemployment, starvation, and despair.
For some reason it seems developed countries go in a spiral upward towards more development, while developing countries take the plunge towards... errrm, I don't really know where we're heading, but it's definitely down.
*sigh*

Here I will post random thoughts of mine, for no reason whatsoever except that I can

You know, a lot of writers are raising the question of: does the government have any relation with what happened?
I think the Sinai bombings are somehow related to our foreign policy but the Alexandria incident is an internal-social affair
The Alexandria events are really terrible, but they reflect a small corner of a more much terrible picture. It reflects that christians are oppressed and discriminated against in Egypt, but in fact everybody is oppressed and discriminated against in Egypt :) This is a government that neither Muslims nor Christians are happy about.
About Dahab, I have no clue why and what happened there, all I can say is God please show us the right as right and make us follow it and show us the wrong as wrong and make us avoid it.
