people demand removal of the regime

Eqyptians are persisting. However, by this third week of massive protest their one very clear demand has yet to be met. Mubarak must go! It is clearly a reasonable request. How many times do they have to say it? and in how many languages? English, Arabic, German, Spanish. I’m sure the president can find a translator.

Maybe he can’t hear them. The tyrant is 83 years old. Hopefully, he can still read. Although since 1981, he has been in absolute power and probably threw away his copy of ‘How To Remain A Dictator For Dummies.’ 30 years as a mindless robot controlled by the U.S. probably doesn’t demand critical thinking skills. It is only the idiots who can survive six assassination attempts. None the less, he remains on his throne.

Meanwhile, millions of people are preparing to protest again tomorrow. I hope they don’t ask for a new president and I hope they can get rid of the old one. I hope they accept they don’t need one. I hope they realize that through all of this chaotic sequence of events, the Egyptian people have been free.
