#2 US aid is several billion. $1.66 per Egyptian would be about $120M. M Hassaan may not be very good at math or else he meant $1.66 per Egyptian per week.

#5 The Muslim brotherhood will try to institute in Egypt Iran's weird combination of theocracy and Marxist economics. The problem is that unlike Iran, Egypt has no oil. And Iran's economy is tottering despite having ample oil reserves. Traditionally, countries with large populations but few resources have gone abroad, sword in hand, to acquire those resources from neighbors who possess more of them. Egypt's misfortune is to exist in an era of Pax Americana, where its expansion in any direction is blocked by American arms.

You mean counterfeit. Forgeries are more within the expertise of CBS News and Russian spies.
