Gamal Mubarak

Anyone who is looking at the political arena in Egypt right now will realize without any great effort that the inheritance of presidency from the incumbent father to the son is going ahead.The last conference of the NDP confirmed that. Despite the fact that Egyptians with all the sectors of society are unable to accept that idea but that wont stop the process in the light of having a weak opposition parties,ghostly civil society and the crippled Islamic brotherhood. The mocking parliament will say as usual with 99.9% yes to the process and in fact the initiative will come from inside the parliament..so this is a fact no one can change and not a single Egyptian can do anything to stop it. Dont forget that the Military had been put away from politics for good and the overwhelming brutality and influence of the police...So thats the Situation now in real and on the land..What should as Egyptians ,we do...?
First lets think rationally and without any emotional or anger what are the alternatives we actually have ? Yes We know Egypt is a great country that has a history and civilization and cant be ruled the same way as the bedouin Gulf countries ruled... yes we had Democracy long time ago and we were pioneers in this field from 1919 till 1952.. but we also had dictatorships from 1952 till now that crippled the means of democracy and the society..so if not Gamal...who else?
In the light of the new regulations made by the NDP the group thats entitled to run for the office the best one of them is in fact whether we like it or not is Gamal Mubarak. the rest like Al Sherif or Kamal Shazly or Sorour are corrupted and it will be a tragedy even if they just think to run..rather than be elected...
We also dont need another miltiary officer no matter what...we have tried them more than half a century and no one crippled the country like they did... Then who else...?The Muslim Brotherhood? Come on we dont need another Wahabiis who will push us backward a century or more and in fact we will lose the whole country if they just once put heir hands on power..We will live again in Dark ages...
In fact I dont see much choice to think of or to consider...the only one who jumps is Gamal whether we like it or not and he will be chosen...
So since this is the real fact we are facing on the land why dont we think about its negativity and its positivity...The man has many positive sides..he is civilian...he is well educated...he already knows the system and has some good ideas and experience...You will say there are many who have the same expeience or civilians...but do they have a chance? on the other negative side he carries the bad history of his father .I think many of the people who oppose him only their refusal comes from the hatred for the father and his regime. We are blaming the guy for the father's mistakes and in some sense it isnt fair and in others he can be blamed...He has been near his father long enough to see the corruption,the Al-Adly brutality and the human rights abuse and he did nothing...
So can we change the situation? Guess not.. so what are we supposed to do? To be realistic we have to make the utmost benefit of the situation...thats in my personal opinion...Since we cant stop the inheritance father-son process and since there is no clear alternative for the guy we as Egyptians should discuss it openly..yes no problem he can be elected but in a process that guarantuees this wont ever happen again..a negotiation situation...Yes we let you become a president but the whole process must be overhauled...no more than two presidency terms in office...No more authoritative and unquestioned power for the president...the guarantuee of civil liberties..the freedom of forming strong political parties with no religious background..The independence of the judicial system..free fair elections that can bring us clean honest parliament members who are not corrupted or just stamp holders...more powers given to the parliament and civil society..if we suceed to get that out of the inheritance process it will be a great progress for Egypt...but if we keep yelling ,arguing and doing nothing..we are losers..we wont achieve anything and he will be elected trust me..
