I've Been Thinking:

President Mubarak of Egypt just wrapped up a trip to Russia.

The results of this trip will have an important effect on Egypt's future.

Mubarak met with both Vladimir Putin and with Dmitry Medved who replaces Putin in May.

Mubarak signed a series of agreements that will permit Russia to bid on the nearly $2 billion nuclear reactor Egypt wants to build.

Russia will sweeten their bid on the nuclear reactor by also offering to sell Egypt a slew of conventional weapons.

Selling weapons to the developing world is one of the things Russia does best.

Russia sold weapons to Iran.
Russia also developed Iran's new nuclear facility called Busher.
Russia just signed a contract with Bulgaria for a nuclear facility.
Russia needs to regenerate their stronghold in the Middle East.

During the Cold War the Russians were the dominant force in the Middle East and outfitted every country - not surprisingly, with the exception of Israel.
