Will Egypt Save Itself From Total Collapse by Going to War With Israel?

Will Egypt Save Itself From Total Collapse by Going to War With Israel? HT: IsraelMatzav.(Tablet).By Lee Smith.

Wednesday's events notwithstanding - the Egyptian army is not a popular institution in that country, and wonders whether the army might not set off a war with Israel in a bid to distract the population from its economic problems and possibly even gain some international aid.

The bigger problem is that the Egyptian army has no plan to stabilize the country. And even if the army takes over, what price is it willing to pay to keep the streets quiet? Shooting protesters? How many? 
Egyptians, contrary to received wisdom, do not love the army, or else hundreds of people wouldn’t have flashed laser lights at a military helicopter the other night in an effort to blind the pilot and crash it. The army can’t bring order because the energies unleashed with the fall of Mubarak two-plus years ago can’t be put back in the bottle.

The Egyptian army has only one card left to play. Western journalists and other true believers in the promise of the Arab Spring may be shocked by the suggestion that Egypt may be headed to war with Israel in the not-too-distant future. But as the country implodes, war has become the easy way out. It doesn’t matter that the Egyptian army doesn’t want another catastrophic contest with Israel—neither did Anwar Sadat 40 years ago when he saved Egypt by going to war with Israel, which in turn helped him acquire the superpower patronage of the United States.Hmmm.......The military will probably won't be able to cope with the economic nightmare egypt has become, expect Hamas and other Islamic extremists to start terrorist attacks , mostly on Copts and Obama being furious that his 'man' morsi is out will do all he can to hurt the man in the street, once they hurt enough they will turn on the age old enemy...Israel.Read the full story here.
