It is said, “Whoever throw seeds in foolish shall reap in sorrow”. The dictator Mubarak has done so for a long time after lucky winds and circumstances entrusted him with the responsibility of leading Egypt after the assasination of his predicessor, President Anwar Al-Sadaat. He has been elected for more than one time. But in the process of leadership, he did not only go astray. He willingly succumbed to the temptation of power that comes with the chair and became a magnet of his own evil, thus attracting thuggish souls around him. “Birds of a feather, flock together”, so it is said.

Would Feb. 1, 2011 be a miraflores day of the Egyptian revolution? A definitive day where protesters, Muslims, Christians, Atheists, secular, will meet at the Liberation square (Midaan Al-Tahrir), at 9:00 am and then march to the presidential palace of the Dictator.
It is expected that Mubarak will not be there. But the demonstration may cease the place.
Whether the dictator will be present or the not, the revolutionary move brings to my memory the time when an Egyptian patriot, Ahmad Urabi, (Urabi Pasha) stood up and protested with his military gallant company in front of the palace of the corrupt Khedive who ruled Egypt then and who himself was subject to Anglo-French (the USA of their time) control under the rules of the Caisse de la Dette Publique. And only then, Urabi in response to the idiocy and arrogance of the corrupt Khedive uttered his famous phrase that always brought tears to my eyes when I was young, “How could you enslave people, when their mothers delivered them free?!”
With reference to an article posted on this blog, Uprooted Palestinians, and on theNakedTruthInAconfusedWorld blog, let us hope that Feb. 1, 2011 will not be a Miraflores Day (confrontation day in Venezuela in 2002) when CIA backed police forces fired live ammunition in order to destabilize the Chavez regime and cause chaos in the streets With Israel panicking and the USA not so far asked Mubarak to step down, and Biden, polishing Mubarak’s character, let us pray that nothing similar will happen.
Long live Egypt
