There is no benefit to the US dollar abroad unless it is to benefit Israel. The US doesn't give a damn about the oppression that the Egyptian people are facing – the US only wants a military presence so that it can better defend Israel. The US has no business backing up dictatorships. If the US is serious about democracy then it should not support the militaristic dictatorship but instead give financial support to the people of Egypt.

The test has come for 2012 for President Obama -- will he continue to allocate billions of dollars to Egypt if it is no longer politically controlled by the military? We'll see how generous the US is why their contribution is being spent for the benefit of the people and not the military.
