Just thought id drop by the cnn link about mohammed el baradei being the 4th egyptian to win the nobelpeace prize --> http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/10/07/nobel.peace.main/index.html
of course the other three were sadat in 1978, naguib mahfouz in 1988, and ahmed zowail in 1999! (you could also include yasser arafat, who won in 1994, and was born in cairo!!!
Anyway as egyptians im positive that this latest peace prize is something that we should all be very proud of!!! :)!

Just a small correction. Dr. Zewail won the Nobel prize for Chemistry, not for Peace.

Also Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Sorry, yeah i knew, probably should have said that. Ive actually got quite a few of naguib mahfouz's books and i really recommend everyone to read them!!! Midaq Alley, the harafish, and the cairo trilogy are all exceptionally good!!!
