[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The genocide of Christians and other non-islam religions in the middle east in tye past few years is horrific. Even sadder is our government turning a blind eye to what is happening over ther to religious minorities.[/quote]

Beyond wagging a finger, I don't think there is much we can or should do.  Stopping aid or sanctions doesn't seem helpful.  What do you suggest?[/quote]

Stopping aid would be nice, yeah. What do we get out of supporting countries where this kind of thing goes on?[/quote]

What we get in this case is a peace treaty with Israel. Given that the present government is a result of a coup against a democratically-elected Muslim Brotherhood government, you can probably find common ground with the Islamacists for cutting aid.

I'm aware that that's been the stated rationale for aid to Egypt for over thirty years. But:

- Egypt 
- Israel

I see zero countries on that list that have done anything to deserve donations out of a third of my income that I hand over to the government every year. They're on the other side of the world, and they will never be able to reciprocate, nor would they want to if they somehow could. Let them keep the peace between themselves (or not).[/quote]
