Ummm, he defended the british soldiers responsible for the Boston Massacre, but weren't there 8 soldiers in that trial?


Who was the first president of the modern Egyptian republic?

 

[applepowerpc]

8 was the number of colonial dead. But you're right! Also, all but one got exonerated, and the one was downgraded to manslaughter. Now there's some history relevant to current events today.

Was this guy president during the Lavon Affair?

Was this guy president during the Lavon Affair?

Mmm, the bombings happened in the summer of 54 right? This man was president until November 14th of that year. However, Nasser was weilding most of the power in Egypt long during this man's presidency, and I think it was Nasser that the Israelis were afraid of.
