I WAS READING THAT SOME PEOPLE IN THE EGYPTIAN OPPOSITION WERE CHANTING "AMERICA, GIVE HIM (MUBARAK) A VISA/AND TAKE HIM
WITH YOU, CONDOLEEZZA".....I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS FOR THE OPPOSITION, BUT I ALSO HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR THEM......LET US START WITH THE BAD NEWS...THAT MUBARAK MAY NOT BE QUALIFIED LEGALLY TO LIVE IN U.S....SINCE, HE WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMITT LEGAL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING HIS "FESH W TASHBEH", WHICH IS, HIS CRIMINAL RECORD..BY THE TIME THAT HE REQUESTS TO IMMIGRATE TO THE U.S., HE MAY HAVE SOME CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS OF CRIMES HE COMMITTED WHILE HE WAS A PRESIDENT, AND, SINCE, HE IS NOT CONVICTED YET...HIS IMMIGRATION APPLICATION WILL BE TEMPORARILY HELD UP, UNTIL THE CRIMINAL COURT"S DECISION IN EGYPT OR IN THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURTS....AT THE SAME TIME, THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S., CANNOT GRANT HIM THAT RESIDENCE IN THE U.S., UNLESS AS SPECIFIED BY THE U.S. LAWS....THE U.S.CONGRESS WILL HAVE TO DEBATE THAT ISSUE, AND, MOST LIKELY WILL NOT GRANT HIM THAT RESIDENCE IF HE HAS ANY CRIMINAL RECORD, ...CONDOLEEZZA RICE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GRANTING RESIDENCE, SINCE THAT POWER IS IN THE HANDS OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH, AND NOT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.....AND, BASICALLY, IF YOU QUALIFY, YOU QUALIFY...IF YOU DON"T QUALIFY, YOU DON"T QUALIFY....IT DOESN"T MATTER IF YOU ARE PRESIDENT MUBARAK, OR THE MAN WHO SHINES MUBARAK"S SHOES.........THE GOOD NEWS IS: THAT OTHER COUNTRIES MAY WELCOME HIM, SUCH AS, ISRAEL,..ISRAEL, BECAUSE, THEY MOST LIKELY WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE HIM, WITH THE TYPES OF RECORDS HE MAY HAVE
MUBARAK"S INDECISION, TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT UNTIL NOW, HAS A LOT OF REASONS BEHIND IT.....SOME OF THEM, THAT HE IS BASICALLY CORNERED, AND, HE FEELS THAT EITHER WAY HE RUNS FOR PRESIDENT, OR HE DOESN"T RUN FOR PRESIDENT....HE IS IN DEEP TROUBLE...THE U.S. IS PLAYING A VERY BIG AND DANGEROUS GAME, AND, ACTUALLY, THEY DON"T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH MUBARK"S ISSUE IN EGYPT...BECAUSE - THEY ARE ALSO CORNERED, LIKE MUBARAK...............
MUBARAK"S CORNERED POSITION - IF MUBARK DOES NOT RUN, FOR PRESIDENT, HE KNOWS THAT HE WILL FACE A LOT OF LEGAL AND CIVIL CHARGES AGAINST HIM.....EVEN IF HE IS GRANTED IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION FROM THE NEW PRESIDENT OR THE GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT, THIS IMMUNITY WILL BE CHALLENGED IN COURT. IF IT IS ISSUED FROM THE NEW PRESIDENT, AS THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, OF IF IT IS PASSED BY THE EGYPTIAN PARLIMENT, AS THE LEGISLATOR.....AND, I AM SURE THAT A LOT OF EGYPTIAN LAWYERS WILL BE HAPPY TO CHALLENGE THIS IMMUNITY IN THE EGYPTIAN COURTS! ALSO - MUBARAK MAY ALSO FACE SOME ARREST WARRENTS IN SOME COUNTRIES WHICH THEIR LAWS ALLOW THEIR CITIZENS TO FILE A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST HUMANITY, REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT IS COMMITTED, OR WHO COMMITTED IT!HE ALSO MAY FACE AN ARREST WARRENT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT! ...................IF HE RUNS FOR A SECOND TERM, TO SET HIMSELF UP WITH A FRIENDLY GOVERNMENT WHICH WILL GRANT HIM IMMUNITY, AND PROTECT HIM, THAT, EVEN, MAY NOT WORK.....BECAUSE, THE NEW GOVERNMENT WILL BE MOST LIKELY A CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH MAY NOT HAVE ANY POWER TO ENFORCE THAT IMMUNITY.....
CONCLUSION:
IF MUBARAK HAS THE WISDOM AND THE POLITICAL EXPERIENCEAS HE CLAIMS, THE BEST WAY FOR HIM IS TO RECONSILE WITH THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE, WHICH HIS FUTURE WILL BE IN THEIR HANDS SOONER OR LATER!..... THE WHEEL OF DEMOCRACY IS TURNING - REGARDLESS IF MUBARAK, OR THE U.S. DOESN"T WANT IT, IT IS TURNING, AND WILL NOT STOP, AND KEEP OUT OF IT"S WAY - OTHERWISE, IT WILL SMASH YOU, ON IT"S WAY!! AND - MAKE NO MISTAKE, THAT THE U.S. HAS NO INTEREST IN EGYPT OR EGYPT"S DEMOCRACY....ALL WHAT THE U.S. IS LOOKING FOR IS FOR SELF INTEREST, AND, THAT WILL LEAD U TO THE OTHER PART.
THE AMERICAN"S CORNERED POSITION:
AMERICA WITH THEIR STATUE OF LIBERTY, HAS NO INTEREST IN DEMOCRACY, NOR JUSTICS IN EGYPT, NOT EVEN, IN THE U.S., BECAUSE, GEORGE BUSH HIMSELF SAID HIS JOB WOULD BE A LOT EASIER IF THE U.S. WAS A DICTATORSHIP...SO - THE AMERICANS ARE CORNERED BECAUSE, THEY SUPPORTED THROUGHOUT HISTORY, THE MOST BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP - IN THE PHILLIPINES - (FERDINAND MARCOS), IN IRAN (THE SHAW OF IRAN), AND, IN CHILE, (AGOSTO PINOCHE) AND CREATED ALL TYPES OF CONFLICTS IN COUNTRIES IF IT DOESN"T SERVE THEIR GOALS....SO, I DON"T THINK THAT SOMEBODY ALL OF A SUDDEN WAKES UP IN THE WHITE HOUSE, ONE MORNING, AND SAYS "HEY! LET"S HAVE DEMOCRACY IN EGYPT BECAUSE I LOVE THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE SO MUCH!!" ...... BUT - THE TRUTH IS THAT AFTER THE U.S."S SUPPORT TO THE STRONG MAN, BRUTAL DICTATOR, MUBARAK, FOR 24 YEARS, AND SUBSCIDIZING HIS CORRUPT FAILING REGIME WITH THE U.S. FINANCIAL AIDE, AND AFTER MUBARAK BRUTALIZED HIS OWN PEOPLE, AND RAN THEM INTO POVERTY, AND INDIGNITY, AND PUSHED THEM THROUGH OUT THE WORLD TO SEAK JOBS, AND NEVER CARED ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS IN EGYPT, OR OUT OF EGYPT-----AFTER ALL THAT, WITH HIS AGE REACHING 77 YEARS, THEY FOUND, THAT THEY"VE GOT TO RUSH TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS! - SO - THEY SAID "LET"S HAVE DEMOCRACY IN EGYPT!" ......TAKE IT FROM ME, AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT, THAT EGYPT WILL NEVER HAVE DEMOCRACY UNLESS THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE WANT AND DEMAND THAT DEMOCRAY!! THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT! .... THE AMERICANS ARE TRYING TO PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS "THE GOOD GUYS!" TO HELP THE EGYPTIANS TO GET THEIR DEMOCRAY! BUT - THEY ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET THE NEXT PRESIDENT - WHO WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS....
FINALY:
WE HAVE TWO .......THE AMERICANS, AND MUBARAK ARE CORNERED..., AND, EACH ONE IS TRYING TO WAIT OUT THE OTHER ONE, OUTSMART THE OTHER ONE, AND MANOUVER THEIR POSITIONS....THAT"S WHY MUBARAK, UNTIL NOW, HAS NOT MADE HIS DECISION, AND THAT"S WHY THE AMERICANS HAVE ALL THE CONFLICTING STATEMENTS ABOUT EGYPT"S ELECTION...............AND - THEY, ARE ENGAGED IN A VERY DANGEROUS GAME! I HOPE, AND I PRAY THAT EGYPT AND THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE CAN BE SAVED FROM THEIR IMMORAL GAMES.....
YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
