stands for truth

The charade continues and will for a long time as long Egypt acts as a Patsy of US/Israel game plan.
It is laughable that while USA and its cronies in Canada and Europe have refused the election of HAMAS in Gaza,but pours billions in the pockets of Mubarak clan.

The Gaza election was the free and fair by any measure.Uncle Sam did not like the choice of Gazans.

It has the gaul to export this kind of perverted democracy to the Arab and Islamic world.

To top it all US Congress and the Establishment expresses disappoitment why the Iraqis or Afghanis do not embarce this version of democracy!


"..Chastened, the ruling party changed rules in the interim...."

Therein lies the Real Problem!

You can't continue to Change the Rules, in the Middle of the Game!!
You can't continue to Deny the Youths, the Right to Vote (you must be Thirty years old, to be eligible)!!!

the "Charade" Continues........

Peace, Love & Respect.


As an Egyptian, I'd prefer these actions by the NDP rather than the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) taking a foothold in parliament.

Any human right violations, election tampering, etc would be a thousand times worse if the MB were in anyway close to power. They are, simply put, the worst thing to have ever happened to this country.


Egypt's state of emergency and the Emergency Law have long facilitated violations of rights abuses throughout Egypt. Egyptian authorities must ensure that all candidates and voters are not harassed or intimidated by security forces, supporters of the ruling party and others during the country's parliamentary elections.
