Mubarak is delusional.
But is anyone listening to John Bradley?
"It's the eve before the revolution and only galvanise it"
I refuse to believe he does not have Obama's backing. How can he get away with this without any repercussions?
What do you guys say?
This other commentator is talking about his "narcissim" and allegations of change in his speech, that he changed it.
I think there may be personnel within the Obama administration and foreign policy advisors that are supportive of Mubarak for stability and subservient reasons that Mubarak assures. Obama may be on the fence he hasn't clearly come out to support the protestors but understands doing so makes their cause seem foreign backed which is counter productive.
It seems Mubarak is staying he has support of Army that's all he needs. Eventually the protests will wane and numbers of protesters will come down.
Mubarak and police should get tough on looters and those disrupting law and order. People are being robbed, stores looted, from what reports are saying. If street crime continues Mubarak may get a whole lot tougher on street criminals. The large crowds act as a cover for criminals in the dark to loot, pick pocket, "feel up" women, of course things nothing new to Egypt but becoming rampant. By the way why is it that nearly every protester in Tahrir square are men, almost the entire crowd seems to be men. Little number of women attending compared to the number of men. For like every women out protesting there are 15 men just an estimate.
with all due respect, to my view you muslims got things slightly wrong.
what you want in Egypt, like an economist said on CNN the other day, is banks lending to all Egyptians at reasonable rates, and medium-to-high-paying jobs to not go to insiders of the elite only.
The leadership at the very top of the country is of less importance than the middle and higher layers of the economy.
And a "strong leadership" can often be an asset.
I do believe the muslim brotherhood unable to function as government. They might be good at running hospitals and charity, but as government leaders they're likely to go the way of Hamas; radicalism -> worse neighborly relations -> worse economy -> more of the problems Egyptians have today.
Yes, you do want the top levels of government to ram it into the elite that they should not be quite so elitist when it comes to the economy, but I believe that if Egyptians play their cards right they can get this from mubarak and suleiman too.

Just sticking around for so long and fostering good relations with Israel against general arabic sentiment, can be considered strong leadership.How is Mubarak "strong leadership"?
If they could get it out of Mubarak and Suleiman, then why are they on the streets.
See things by standing in their shoes, don't ask them to look at issues by standing in yours.

Mohamed ElBaradei, a leading opposition figure, said Egypt "will explode" as a result of Mubarak's defiance and called on the Egyptian army to intervene "to save the country."
