I have no idea what point you're trying to make about Mubarak. He
didn't take over in a coup d'état.

Who lead the coup?


There was no coup. Do you have the ability to Google?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosni_Mubarak

Mubarak took power after a failed coup.

The only real significance of the coup (actually just an attempt to
kill every senior member of the Mubarak administration) was that it
killed Sadat and allowed Mubarak to move up one slot.

Mubarak was part of every step of the deal with Israel and that was
what set off the gang who tried to kill them. He maintained power with
oppressive suppression of any opposition to the current policies.
Now that this suppression is gone, it is not unreasonable to believe
the same feelings that brought on Sadat's assassination will boil up.

In fact it came from the same army that is now running the country. We
just do not know which faction is in control. It is safe to say it is
not the Sadat/Mubarak wing or the revolution would not have had army
support.

The fact is that you're just making stuff up. You claim to know things
you don't. Your comments reflect a pretty big deficit of understanding
of Egypt and the region in general.

You also seem to have no problem replying to my posts second hand.
What are you afraid of exactly?
