How is forcing them to allow Israeli vessels to pass equivalent to freeing as you said on the other thread? It was a canal built by Egyptian people (under British rule) and in control of the Egyptian government. Shouldn't the Egyptians therefore decide what to do with it?

That doesn't make it a United States policy. |
So if a country adopts a policy that states that any citizen of another country who is poking their nose constitutes an act of war, that makes it alright?
