So would the Suez Canal then become now a neutral zone under the protection of the French like what the British did in the past.

I seem to recall from that module someone did on the internet about Central America (Damn, I thought I downloaded that one -- if anyone has it, let me know), that the Panama Canal is non functional in the T2K2/2.2 timeline due to extensive sabotage and ships stuck in the locks after the sabotage.

Such a thing doesn't need to be perfect to work well enough to let tankers transit the canal. Transiting ships just get a NAVTEX warning to button up in the area and some basic decontamination procedures.

I have what you are talking about and the Canal is fully functional in what he wrote with US troops still there and facing off against Colombians and other forces trying to screw up the Canal
