I noticed you spelled "marxist" wrong.
Better hope so.Now is the critical time for the right leadership to manifest.
I think this may be the new foreign policy of egypt. we will see though."the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has sent his defense minister Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi to Washington with an urgent request for US backing for his embattled regime against the street protest movement which gained in violence on its second day, Wednesday, Jan. 26.
Debkafile’s Washington sources report that in secret meetings, the Egyptian defense minister put the situation before President Barack Obama and a row of top US political, military and intelligence officials. He warned them that by advocating a soft hand with the demonstrators and responsiveness to their demands, American officials were doing more harm than good. Without a crackdown, he said, the regime was doomed.

According to the same March 2008 cable, Tantawi, while "charming and courtly", is also "aged and change-resistant", in a view that might give those hoping for a new champion of democracy pause for thought.
"He and Mubarak are focused on regime stability and maintaining the status quo through the end of their time. They simply do not have the energy, inclination or world view to do anything differently," the cable warned.
