#6  Israel won't let the Sinai become like Somalia. If Egypt can't keep the lid on Israel will. Only question will be whether it's covert or done in the open.

If we can't get them to give up the idea of a caliphate, the next best thing is to give them a lot of caliphs to fight each other.

Sinai might be the one after that.
