Egypt was once the breadbasket of the Mediterranean, but now must import half of its food. Part of that is that the legendary three crops a year have been ruined by the Aswan Dam, build by Nasser, and the socialist system he created, and has been maintained by Sadat and Mubarak. Farmers must sell their produce to the government at government dictated prices. We conservatives know what that will do to a nation’s agriculture.
Mubarak may be the lesser evil here, and let’s remember that. The enemy of my enemy is the enemy of my enemy, but not necessarily my friend.
The best form of government is a benign dictatorship with a very wise person in charge. A Constitutional Republic like ours in the USA is second best.
In 3rd place is a “democracy” where 5 lions and a zebra argue about what’s for dinner.
