Weapons for Egypt

Re “U.S. Announces Plan to Sell Egypt $3.2 Billion in Weaponry,” March 12: Congratulations to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon for getting U.S. taxpayers to cough up the dough to provide F-16 fighters and Patriot-3 missiles to Egypt to, as Defense Secretary William S. Cohen declared, spare the Egyptians the insult of having to turn to other suppliers. It’s nice to know that our sensitivity toward the feelings of Egyptians comes ahead of the U.S. government’s responsibility to provide quality education and universal medical care to American kids.
