Renowned Middle East journalist Robert Fisk speaks from Cairo on the historic uprising and how U.S. President Barack Obama has lost an opportunity to back a democratic movement in the Middle East. “One of the blights of history will now involve a U.S. president who held out his hand to the Islamic world and then clenched his fist when it fought a dictatorship and demanded democracy,” Fisk said.

It is simplistic to blame one single man as if he is also a dictator like dictator Mubarak to decide whatever he wants in anyway and through that provide ugly warfare instruments to his waiting opponents who damn him if does as well as damning if he didn’t.
What do you think the powerful US Jews lobby and and Israel’s leader Natanyahu who recently blamed Obama for not knowing the culture of the region are doing right now? For him the beast way is to work behind the scene. Extremists are already blaming him and propagating that the president is a black Muslim “something” in an otherwise White house.
Mind you that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt are gaining ground in order to join mainstream politics, the doors of which dictator Mubarak and his corrupt cronies have been firmly closing and serving only themselves.
He has already called Mubarak directly and told him to give up power. To keep repeating himself amounts to an oversupply of commands which may devalue the values and weights of his words.
How can we expect DEMOCRACY to flourish around the world, if the Super Power keep on supporting dictators like Mubarak and Meles?
Mubarak is another African dictator that has robbed his country, just like our own dictator Meles and his family:
The average daily income of Egyptians——————–$2.00 ( two US dollars)
The net worth of Mubarak’s family————————-$70,000,000,000.00 (seventy billion US dollars)
