Mubarak's "End Game" !

The events that are happening in Egypt, are the result of a old man, trying to hold on to the money and the power. Mubarak, 82 years old is buying time at the expense of lives lost and intimidation. At this very moment the U.S administration is negotiating with Mubarak to bring this ugly revolt to a end by his ultimate departure.



As day by day goes by the Egyptian people are more willing to die, than to just wait until september when Mubarak is supposed to step down. These recent events have triggered other Arab peoples to protest, and have made their leaders make some tatical changes. President Obama is trying to walk a political tight rope because he can't tell any nation who should lead them but in his cabinet they want Mubarak to leave "Now"!



Mubarak, must look at the entire situation and be honest with himself. First of all if he leaves now he has millions of dollars stashed away in Swiss bank accounts. Secondly its been 30 years on top , he should be running to the nearest jet heading for Dubai ? Thirdly, Mubarak should look at the future of Egypt , the youth and he should ask himself , why ?

Obama's "Middle-East" !

This weekends events in Egypt, and in Tunisia is just a preview of the the international dilemma that the Obama administration has inherited. During the cold war with communist Soviet Union and China, the U.S policy was simply this " the enemy of my enemy is my friend "! We used the power of the all mighty "dollar" to support unstable democracies with dictators.


First example Suddam Hussien, in the eighties we armed him with missiles, with the help of Don Rumsfield. Strategically this unusual relationship between Baghdad and Washington went under the radar because our goal was to support government that wasn't friends with Iran. In a ten year war with Iran , millions of people were gased and the Iraqi military and oil reserves increased. Over time Saddam Hussien became one of many dictators on the payroll or i.e, "foreign aide"!

Militarily speaking Saddam became a major player in the middle-east, much to the displeasure of major U.S Allie Israel.


Obama's middle-east he has to deal with unstable governments, high food prices and high unemployment. Also a highly intelligent youth movement that is technically adept on the internet to cause a movement with a click of a button .
