Egypt Will Try Mubarak
By Micah Halpern

Tuesday June 6, 2011

I've Been Thinking:

On August 17th Hosni Mubarak and his two sons will be put on trial.

They will be prosecuted for corruption and for the deaths of 18 protesters, killed during the revolution that ousted Mubarak
Prosecuting all three Mubarak men may result in blow back from the Egyptian street. The street is the Arabic equivalent of the vox populi or the voice of the people. The people of Egypt may be satisfied with placing the Mubarak sons on trial, but there may be political problems with placing the senior Mubarak on trial.

The sons are young and they are seen as opportunists while the father is seen as a sickly old man who spent decades fighting for Egypt.
If the current leadership overplays their hand it may come back to hurt them.
