Doesn't seem like something to get excited about. Eh, bridges can be blown up, in the last extremity. Doesn’t seem like something to get excited about.

Greater than this is that the bridge must be big enough for major ships to get through in multiple locations. Remember that the Suez canal is a major shipping route -- would this bridge be high enough for ships to get through? And what about tankers leaving from Sudan? The Yemen-Djibouti area is a bottleneck as it is, and this bridge, if not done correctly, could really choke trade. Looks like a great idea to me, the terrorism concern seems pretty sill frankly.

Even the best of people and organizations are prone to hysteria at times with terrorism...... Another example: One could also argue given the negative feedback and even more helter skelter security situation in Somalia that this type of hysteric reaction (along with uninformed, rank opportunism) was at the center of the decision to back Ethiopia's war against the ICU...
