I've Been Thinking:

Egypt is one of the big leaders in the Arab world.
Egypt sets the tone for much of what happens in the Arab world.

Next week a slew of meeting will be taking place in Egypt.
The Arab Quartet will hold a meeting in Egypt.
Secretary of State Rice will have meetings in Egypt.
Palestinians will meet with Egyptians in Egypt.
Hamas and Fatah will be meeting in Egypt.
Several world leaders will come to Egypt to be briefed and even Israel will be hovering around and conducting meetings.

So it can only be seen as a good sign that in a speech today President Mubarak of Egypt promised more reforms in his country.
Mubarak assured his country that he will be instituting programs to combat poverty.
Egypt, like most countries in the world is petrified of economic fallout from the US.

The biggest income source for Egypt today is tourism.
Egypt knows that when the world markets it makes a huge impact on visitors.
Mubarak was trying to bolster his people.
More than that, he is creating a plan to help the poor of Egypt who until now have been ignored.
How liberalizing.
