Keep Your Eyes On Egypt: "Mubarak must not be allowed to get away with cosmetic change because he claims to be fighting terrorism or because the U.S. administration cannot decide how serious it is about change in the Middle East. Demonstrations and a thriving political culture are in the collective memory of Egyptians. Our presidents since the 1952 coup and revolution -- Gamal Abdel Nasser, Sadat and now Mubarak -- shared both an armed forces background and a determination to end the vigorous politics my country enjoyed before the advent of their regimes.
As Egyptians we are proud of that history but we sadly regret the political lethargy and decay that are the weeds of those successive dictatorships. We want our country back."
