![]() « Mubarak is Not Going Away | Main | Food Costs Go Up in the MidEast » Mubarak a Least Worst Option
By Micah Halpern
Sunday January 30, 2011 I've Been Thinking: Replacing Mubarak in Egypt is not necessarily the best option. Yes we embrace democracy and the voice of the people and we also embrace the right of the people to choose even a bad leader. The potential for war with Israel would increase dramatically. Stability in Jordan would teeter and possibly fall. Anyone who enters the leadership position instead of Mubarak will be a sponsor of Hamas in their attack against Israel. A war or a near war situation could cost the lives of tens of thousands of Egyptians and ruin entire regional and world economies. Mubarak is a thug. But a quick revolt and casting him aside could endanger the world. Mubarak needs to be pressured to modify and liberalize and transition into better forms of leadership. That might sound anti-democratic, but it is not. It is a political, economic and historically proven reality. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Thoughts
