Just makes me sick, Ngaire. No comment here about the political thing, but for those who want to go there, Egypt TA's have always been so sensitive to security concerns. Of course now is not the time to worry about that, as no one can get there. It just takes so long for everything to get back to normal after something like this, as in Luxor in the past. I would never have guessed that these events would have taken place, ever ever in Egypt. We, of course, are neither in that place, nor that culture. May the oppossing sides come together for the benefit of themselves (and the rest of the world) and find peace among themselves and move forward.
