Hosney Mubarak President of Egypt is not a Dictator


Hosney Mubarak of Egypt is not a dictator but rather a president of a country that has an elected Parliament and functioning government. The problem he has been around for 30 years and the people specially the young are very, very tired of him.
His national party occupies basically all the seats of the elected Parliament and this one of the triggers that resulted in the recent massive uprising. Although there were other parties running during the last elections they were secular ones and the people did not like them or vote for them. The only true opposition that can have shared seats in the Parliament saving him from the accusation of one party monopoly was the Muslim Brotherhood and since they were banned, harassed and arrested in a large scale they did not gain seats and they actually boycotted the re-run elections. This could have saved Mubarak the recent troubles and with the total dissatisfaction of his nationalist party monopoly of power.
The presence of 88 members of the Muslim brother hood in the past Parliament did not cause any trouble what so ever and it was foolish to chase them out in the most current parliament elections.
