Time for Mubarak to spare himself the burden of leadership
Time for Mubarak to spare himself the burden of leadership
This editorial from the Lebanese newspaper “The Daily Star” is probably written by a Shiite, because it criticizes Mubarak for his comments with regard to Iraq’s Shiite being more loyal to Iran than Iraq.
It is sarcastic and fun to read but it is true for the most part..
“Perhaps Mubarak's blundering remarks were a sign of strain. After 25 years in office, the crown of the head of state seems to have become too heavy for him to carry. Mubarak has had a respectable career during which he has brought greater stability to Egypt, but now it seems that the hand at the helm has stiffened. Five terms in office would wear any president down. But it is not only Mubarak who is withered by the arduous role of leadership; the entire Egyptian nation is also weary from bearing the weight of his presidency. With no room for new and energetic leadership, Egypt's political process has become stagnant, even as other political systems in the region have become more vibrant.
Egypt ought to be leading the Arab world in its efforts to democratize and empower citizens. For this reason, Mubarak ought to consider a review of his comments, and for the sake of his nation, he ought to bring about a peaceful transfer of power by calling for early presidential elections. In doing so, he can relieve himself and his people of the burden of his leadership.”
