Mubarak calls for Elections	Choux	02/26/05
Today, on my ISP, there was a news story about Mubarak calling for limited elections in Egypt. Mybarak has ruled Egypt since 1981 after the assassination of Awar Sadat. The success of the democratic process in Iraq has not escaped all the dictators in the Middle East. The average muslim is NOT a child who needs a firm dictator; he/she is a person who wants freedom/democracy and THEY KNOW IT. All the world knows it, specially anti-American European appeasers to terrorism. Comments?
Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 02/27/05 4:16 am: fyi Egypts Parlament has 258 members of whom one-third are appointed and two-thirds elected through direct public ballot.That means that the ruling Party already has 1/3 of the members in his pocket and needs only 1/6 th of the elected members to retain power.
