This story keeps getting sadder and sadder.

All seven kids in a family die.
They were all adopted foster kids.
Grandpa dies of a heart attack when he hears the news.

:crying:

Sad.

Remind me when I finish law school (if I ever start) that I should apply to become an ACLU lawyer. Baring that, remind me to contribute.

They and other Islamist groups in the ME (like Hamas) fill in the gaps where the government fails. As such, they win the trust of the people from the ground up.

So, perhaps your statement is true where you work, but it doesn't really apply to Egypt, and I would guess to Palestine as well.

Bread and circus's make even the bigest monsters popular with the people. One need only look back to the Roman Empire to see that.

hand outs make people think that they diserve what you give them. The moment you stop delivering - they WILL and DO turn on you.

Handouts are not charity - they are politics.
