1. For real? Golly!
Stephen in New York   (09.04.11)
Egypt only does whatever it does to serve Egypt's interests. It appears that for new the military is in charge and the generals intend to restrain the Islamists, contrary to the concern of many
2. Well done, a step in the right direction
Mikey   (09.04.11)
Egypt can't allow terrorists to take over the Sinai peninsula. It's bad for business, and no tourist will want to meet Jihadists while traveling there. Also, if they don't clear it now, it will stab them in the back when the cells become more powerful. Egypt is doing a step in the right direction.
3. So - Why did Egypt not do this before ?

while the muslim brotherhood gets its act together....israel is not out of the woods on this border yet !
6. why not build a deep channel?
galilean ,   Israel   (09.04.11)
A really deep channel between Gaza and the Sinai, this way cutting off all of these tunnels and preventing them from building news ones.
7. Sinai needs tourists, not terrorists.

8. To Stephen
Aiman ,   Egypt   (09.04.11)
Egypt is damned if it does and damned if it deos not. All countries to a degree do what is in their best interest.
9. so, when will Egypt reopen them?
observer ,   Egypt   (09.04.11)
a great number of those tunnels were dug before 1967 for smuggling when Gaza was designed as a Free Trade Zone. Those were already there AFTER 1967!
10. #6 there is already
