Did not Egypt used to be FATIMID about a thousand years ago?

Interesting point. Thanks for the link - looked it up and found that the Fatimid was initially established 909 AD in Mahid, Tunisia which is where the first Arab Spring occurred. In 969 they conquered Egypt and built the city of Cairo, which became the capital of the caliphate. Egypt was where the second Arab Spring happened. A co-incidence...

One wonders why we didn’t help the green revolution in Iran since we’ve been helping all these other - get rid of the dictator “revolutions”. I guess since we/Carter had already installed the Ayatolla there was no need.
