there is nothing democratic about egypt. people have been protesting their government for days to allow humanitarian aid to enter gaza yet the government meets the protests with beatings, arrests and god knows what else. this is a dictatorship that is allowed to exist only because they are puppets in the hands of the US. The US ships prisoners to be tortured in Egypt, only because America doesn't believe in torture, so they do it elsewhere. what democracy is this. it is only a shame that the western media cannot take a few tips from aljazeera.net that is if these western and other media sources wanted to expose the truth.

As an Egyptian citizen who witnesses and experiences the political reform changes that are taking place in Egypt, I believe that Egypt is undergoing major historical changes that are reflected on social, cultural and religious levels. I also believe the current and future, ambitious, scientifically and objectively based reform, plans will enable Egypt to play a more pivotal role in the whole area. These plans and their execution are an accumulation of years of experience and years of difficult challenges.

Mr. Mubarak
I have 4 names for “YOU” and two comments
The first name is Aymen Nour, “YOU” might know him, he came second in the “elections” in 2005, he is an opposition leader that according to “YOU” are free to express their opinion, nevertheless he is in jail now “convicted” of forging the power of attorney “tawkeel” to form his party which is a real joke taking into account that he “forged” the power of attorney for his own father and wife. So here goes the freedom of opposition.
The second name is Emad elkebeer, who was raped in one of “YOUR” police station for standing up for his rights so here goes the freedom of regular guys.
The third name is Abdel Wahab Elmesseery, a renowned Egyptian icon who belongs to opposition, who died of cancer recently, he was denied medical treatment abroad as it is usual for a man of his caliber in Egypt. So here goes the right of life to opposition
The last name is Elhewar, a satellite TV station out of London, for exposing “YOUR” regime they were denied access to “YOUR” Nile sat satellite. So here goes freedom of expression and criticizing “YOUR” government.
And here are the comments, the host went easy on “YOU” about poverty in Egypt, “YOUR” governments reduced the income defining poverty by almost 70% so that “YOU” can stand up and claim that “YOU” have improved the standard of living of Egyptians.
The second comment is that, “YOUR” father came to power in 1981 and lost touch with reality in 1987 after the uprising of the security forces and never regained it, these were fairly reasonable 6 years. “YOU” SIR has lost touch with reality even before “YOU” come to power so “WE” Egyptian under “YOUR” rule will not get the break we got with “YOUR” father.

80 percent of teh egyptians are poor and everybody knows that. No need for citations.
If I am in the position of teh lady, I would ask him "Tell me one thing your fake party has acheived since 1981. Something to be compared to 27 years with a wealthy country like egypt.".

Liar... really liar, and it gonna be a real crisis if he jumped over egypt

If he is truthful, and the Egy gov let the parliament election transparently applied, the MB will wash out the national party. It is world wide known that the National Party is full of liar people and gangs. Also among the NP, they protect a national criminal that caused 1000 Egyptians to die 3 years ago on a ship carrier.

I believe that if they allow the normal people to speak freely without forcing them, they would ask to demolish the NP from its roots.

The problem with this guy and his father, and mother that they can not imagine the throne to be out of their hands and they do not understand that the simple Egyptian people is paying much attention to the situation more than before.
