This article implies that the British Resident Minister in Egypt during WW2 was some kind of colonial governor. This is quite untrue. The Resident Minister was Britain's Cabinet-level representative to the Allied High Command and the post was essentially diplomatic. It had nothing to do with running Egypt. By WW2 Egypt was an independent country, although under various treaties Britain had the right to base troops there. I am going to remove this section. Adam 07:45, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
