Most Eguptians oppose US Econ Aid

Such is the news, perhaps non American aide is less dimly viewed.Most Egyptians Oppose U.S. Economic Aid

About 7 in 10 Egyptians surveyed by Gallup in December 2011 oppose U.S. economic aid to Egypt, and a similar percentage opposes the U.S. sending direct aid to civil society groups. This rebuke of U.S. financial support may be a challenge for Egypt's newly elected parliament and its future president as the government attempts to bolster the nation's financial stability.

Given the history USA has in Egypt, this is not a surprise.
