Actually that would be the ideal situation, if Egypt had a decent navy, they certainly wouldn't get all uptight about blowing away the pirates. Unfortunately, it doesn't affect them economically, the canal is a necessary evil for shipping costs, so they won't make the effort. So its up to us and the other seafaring nations to put a stop to it, just like we did with the pirates of Tripoli a few hundred years ago.
