Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’m glad to introduce to you, a new ‘First Lady‘ in our part of the world.
Khadija Al Jammal (24 years) will get engaged tonight to the next Egyptian leader, Jamal Hussni Mubarak (42 years).
Congratulations to Egypt!

Next leader of Egypt eh? When did the Egyptian people elect him? Why bother with elections if you are just going to pass the crown on like a monarchy?
I hope Egyptians will not allow Jamal to inherit the presidency.. it will be a disaster!
Robin,
Here is two links that can tell you the story:

Anyone,
I read Haitham’s links but now I have MORE questions. I am fully aware it was Egypt that signed the first peace treaty with the Israelis which in much of the Arab world was seen as a sell-out. My question now after reading these articles is: He is still asking for large concessions from the Palestinians, how is this viewed? Most here in the West would hail his position, but I for one am rather suspicious. In other words, what’s the catch.
Another question, I realize fully that Hussein was NOT a good guy, but he DID hold his country together (albeit with terror).
Is Mubarak as bad, better or worse in his own country? Opposing theories are welcome cause we all know there are opposing theories to EVERY scenario. What might happen if the mantel of power were to pass to someone other than the son?
Hi Robin,
I would like to introduce this report from the bbc about the history of the conflict in Palestine http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/middle_east/03/v3_israel_palestinians/maps/html/default.stm
that will give you an idea why most of the people don’t like any further pressure on Palestinians becasue simply they almost don’t have anything else to redeem they have got nothing only 5% of their land, about 15% of their water, no independence. you can see when people have choosen Hamas Israel cut off everything they don’t have anything to survive. in this environment more heatrate can develop. so that we don’t accept any pressure on Palestine it is Israel’s turn. about Mubarak himself I would say they are dectator no difference the only difference is that Mubarak is carring out USA agenda in the middle east but Saddam’s role had been ended.
