Israel also talks too much and acts too little. Unless it becomes pro-active and takes concrete actions against the smuggling, it will only get worse. For every tunnel discovered by Israel's incursions, 10 spring up, right under the Egyptian noses. Rather than berate Egypt (as witnessed by Israel's F.M.), which seems to have upset Mubarak, Israel must retake the Corridor, stablize it, destroy any existing tunnels and control a limited area permanently. As far as Egypt's ranting and raving about Israel's politices, that is between it and the United States. Israel has every right to make it's voice heard in our (US) Congress or anywhere else it desires. We in the USA contribute over 2 billion/year to that dictatorship, and, as we do with Israel, should have some strings attached. Now is the time to apply pressure on Egypt. I frankly do not like the idea of my hard earned tax dollars going to support our fairweathered Arab friend.

Perhaps Israel made a mistake when it returned the Sinai to Egypt 3 times, apparently forgotten by that country's leadership.
