Be careful Mr. President, least Egypt becomes your “Waterloo!”

During 2010 I gave my unequivocal support to President Obama for the things that he got done, despite great odds. However, “all” American Presidents including President Obama, must be cautious but yet decisive, speak little, but meaningful, and never become entrapped in phantasmagoric rationales and internecine knee-jerk reactions, such as President Obama has found himself in the Egyptian crisis.

Mr. President, you are being very hypocritical by your continued statement that the future of Egypt must be determined by the Egyptian people. Well, the Egyptian people have for seventeen straight days braved every obstacle in seeking the resignation of Mr. Hosni Mubarak. Yet, you are doing the same thing that Mr. Mubarak is doing, trying to placate the people “with meaningless words.”

Mr. President, “people often doubt what you say but they always believe what you do,” and thus far, “your doings, parallels that of Mr. Mubarak. You promised us that you had what it takes in dealing with America’s problems and representing America to the world, as a strong but fair Nation that believes in the God-given “rights” of all people.

Be the man you claimed to be and say once and for all; “Mr. Hosni Mubarak, it is time you step down!” He may heed your words and then again he may not, but at least we can bridge a very important gap with the Moslem world, in that, they would see that we stand against the “subjugator” and with the “subjugated!”
