America, Israel and Egypt

So much for the "Siege Mentality" that Israel is criticized for.

If the result of the Egypt's "democratization" means one man, one vote, one time, Israel's cautious steps towards peace will be understood. Perhaps too late.

First, peace with Egypt by giving back the Sinai, then Lebanon and then Gaza.
Lebanon and Gaza already proved to have been a mistake.
Egypt may end up a much bigger one.

I wonder: What is Israel getting back in return for peace? A piece of paper backed up by the Autocrat in office?
Are the Palestinians ready to make peace? Wait, THAT was already proven, when Israel was ready to give 97% of the West Bank and the reply came back promptly in the form of a rain of stones, bombs in hotels, markets and pizza places.

What's left then?

As an egyption I would like to highlight the issue that we broke the barear of fear for the first time in 40 yrs i can smell the freedom in the air and i can see it in the faces of my people this is a historic and very proud moments what will come next first to the region already happened because of our revoultion ; Algeria cancelled the Emergency state/ Yemen president announces that he will not run for president /Kuwait gave bonus (money) to their people /Libya is shacking / Suadi arabia is very causios. We always respect our international deals and even if some does nt like it but we will respect our peace with israel as long as they do.I am sure that it is for the benefit of our country and people ,we want not to depend on any american aid or europe support not because we dont like them but this will make us work harder and more deternine to depend on our selfs so we will be stronger and we will regain our leading position in the middleeast which was lost because of the 30 yrs of the mubarak regime who really failled to maintain this position.This is only a begining I ll cote what the people in Tahrir is really determined they are saying that in 5 yrs time Egypt will be catogarized as one of the worlds first countries and we are determined to do it by all means if u want to feel what Iam saying just have a walk in Tahrir sg.now and you will see and feel new Egypt.

How about the Economist provide a 'nuanced' overview of Mubarak's family assets in the US, UK, etc. ?

The first step by the 'Guardian':

Israel is often touted as the only democracy in the middle east. It isn't a real democracy because in a real democracy all citizens have equal rights. The Arab citizens of Israel don't have the same rights as their jewish counterparts, therefore Israel isn't a true democracy.

Isn't it ironic that the only jewish democracy in the middle east should be against democracy in Egypt:-).
