"From Dictatorship to Madness
Khaled Saghiyyah
It’s not the first time that the Egyptian regime feeds on the blood of its people. It’s not the first time where violence is carried out against the Egyptians. The difference is that when the regime becomes naked, its violence becomes naked. Just as we moved from unfair electoral laws to electoral fraud and from economic exploitation to organized looting, we are moving from police uniform to thugs, horses, camels, sticks, knives and Molotov cocktails.
Whenever the President looks at himself in the mirror and finds he is increasingly transformed into a stuffed mummy, he will further resort to violence. The arrows of his violence will not be pointed at the demonstrators only, but also at the Egyptian history as a whole. And repeated attempts to burn and loot the museum attest to this.
The president does not bear an existence for Egypt without him; he does not bear a history of Egypt that does not glorify him. That appeared to be Hosni Mubarak’s main obsession, in his speech two nights ago. Perhaps the most dangerous game starts when an individual talks himself into confronting history.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called to hold those responsible fully accountable for the violence. America's silence might have been more useful.
