CHUTZPAH IN CAIRO: Mubarak isn't happy with America's latest plan for promoting demoracy in the Middle East. The Egyptian President has stated that
"Whoever imagines that it is possible to impose solutions or reform from abroad on any society or region is delusional," Mr. Mubarak said on Wednesday. "All peoples by their nature reject whoever tries to impose ideas on them."
Wouldn't it be funny if Colin Powell responded by saying "Whoever imagines that it is possible to impose dictatorship or tyranny from within on any society or region is delusional. All peoples by their nature reject whoever tries to speak on their behalf while robbing them of their freedom."

The history of the Middle East is on Mubarak's side on this one, but the idea of freedom has a habit of ignoring history.
