      Dear Hosni Mubarak;

      Who engineered 9/11 to sell hatred of Islam for 10 years?

      At about 24:40 in the video Mubarak says, according to the translator, "Shalit is .... prisoner"

      Now some media report that Mubarak refered to Shalit as "our prisoner" (e.g. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1108325.html), while others report Mubarak refered to Shalit as "one of ours in captivity" (e.g. http://www.radiojai.com.ar/online/notiDetalle.asp?id_Noticia=44291)

      Can CharlieRose clarify this matter?

      Surpised Hosni let the assertion that no regime in Egypt is possible without the army's blessing. Kudos that he did I guess. He denied it.

      I think democracy in the Middle East is pretty much of a fantasy. Patriarchicalism is engrained in the character and a major factor in the so-called clash of cultures. Just casting a vote every four years certainly can't be considered democracy anyway, and liberty never comes via revolution besides, but rather by restraints forced on power by ppl who know their value and labor to make them work. Just removing a dictator simply yields a plethora of petty ones, a situation which cannot last. This is the classical understanding. What makes ppl think they can ignore it is beyond me. Probably it is because as Tocqueville predicted, Butler's Erehwon satirized and Chris Lasch fulminated about, the US and GB proselytize a primitivist paternalism (or perhaps maternalism is the better word) that is absent in Islam, and most of the rest of the world. But ppl kept in perpetual childhood never grow up, and even a balance of power is better than war or totalitarianism.
