Sounds like a bilateral action to me. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Was there a UN resolution authorizing force? How many years were the Egyptians given to cooperate before the bombing started? Did the French and UK give any thought to how their actions would effect the world in general the Middle East in particular? How the actions would be seen by the Muslim countries? Didn't they care about the hate they would foster?

Maybe the US was just trying to avert the conflict and save lives. Maybe the Egyptians just needed more time?

The parallels are interesting.
