This trial will divide Egypt. They need to step outside of themselves and look at successful models of reconciliation.

For me, the American civil war offers an example. After the war, it became policy to completely forgive those who fought against the victors. Even the former rebel president was detained, then released as a full citizen, though excluded to run for public office.

This trial is not good. Mubarak loved Egypt and did much to build it's infrastucture with scant resources. He stayed in power too long. This trial will be repeated at the next revolution, and again and again. Look to the monuments (i.e. new library at alexandria) and successes of the Mubarak government and see it in yourselves to move on to the next step. Even let his sons run for termed office.

That would be my advice to the great and enduring nation of Egypt. Avoid simple minded revenge trials and move on!

 This is typical behavior of the Muslim dominated countries and will be here once they populate to sufficient numbers to push thier religion of peace on us. Look at England Canada France Indonesia and the list goes on and on.

What in the world is wrong with these people in the middle east? (I should say the Arab population) Why do they have so much hatred and frustration built up in them? This hatred is not only for America and Israel but for each other as well. They need to laugh more often, develop a sense of humor and learn that not every problem in the world gets resolved by beating the crap out of it or running out in the streets and acting like wild donkeys... Is it me or does it seem like they need to go through a cultural revolution like America did back in the sixties? They need to learn to make peace, love, and pros parity their motto - not wishing death to the whole world.

CNN is headlining a story with a giant picture of Mubarak in a cage facing the human and civil rights charges against him.

THAT'S what REAL democracy looks like!

We should have sent Bush to Abu Ghraib for War Crimes charges as well. Alas, we no longer enjoy a real democracy here in the USA...

In fact, we didn't do a damn thing to even help the Egyptians attain freedom, mostly becuase Israel would rather have its neighbors led by despots and murderers that they can cut immoral deals with..

Mubarak was once revered as a savior in Egypt, and is now being demonized! Egypt does itself irreparable damage by putting this old ailing man on trial accused of crimes of which he definitely is not guilty. What comes after the so-called "Arab Spring" is more chaos, or as the French say: La plus ca change, la plus ca meme chose!' (The more things seem to change, the more they remain the same.)
