#2 There’s so much jealousy and racism in that comment.
Instead I congratulate the Egyptian people and the Russians for such a historical project. You sir should use you acid personality writing letters to your representative and ask them to perform in serving you, not wasting your time in this obscure blog.

Have you ever been to Egypt, Wodan 1785 USA? Working, I mean, not just visiting the pyramids and taking a cruise up the Nile to Thebes.

Mr. Wife spent a year mostly in Egypt, occasionally flying home. For the first six months of that year he twiddled his thumbs waiting to start the project as soon as the ordered chemicals arrived — six months into it, after telling him every few days that the stuff would arrive momentarily, it was reluctantly revealed that actually they hadn’t placed the order yet. He then spent the next six months cleaning the desert rat mummies out of the equipment that had been sitting there waiting to be started up for five years.

He took photos of one of the supplier factories — holes in the floor of the mezzanine covered with cardboard, leaking bags of caustic chemicals carried around workers’ heads... nothing less than telling the workers that the chemicals would cause impotence got them to wear safety shoes. They pointed with pride to a gentleman curled up asleep in a corner — he had to sleep at work because he had two wives at home, who wore him out. Inshallah — no care need be taken, because bad things happen only when Allah wills it, and only because Allah wills it.

The inshallah approach does not mesh well with the precision needed to run a nuclear power plant.

None of that is racism or bigotry, just typical experiences in a Third World country. Nor would an Egyptian accept the idea of racism — as far as they’re concerned, they are white as white Americans, and their idea of what Blacks are would more than meet your definition racism.
