[Peace-discuss] at Daily Kos: If We Cut Aid to Egypt's Military, Would We Die?

[Robert Naiman]

Suppose that the U.S. cut off aid to Egypt's military, as required by U.S.
law, and suppose that in retaliation the Egyptian military said to the
Pentagon, "OK, big boy, from now on you have to give us the same notice for
overflights as you give everybody else, and your warships have to wait in
line at Suez just like all the other ships." And suppose this continued
until democracy was restored.

I can certainly see how that would be sad for the Pentagon. But from the
point of view of everyone else in America who isn't the Pentagon - everyone
who has to stand in line all the time - would it be so terrible? Would we
die? Could we somehow muddle through?
