Mubarak Must Go

Okay, usually I keep my writing nose out of politics as it can be a very muddy and smelly place to be, but this time I'm saying something.

Mubarak FINALLY addressing his people after weeks of riots, protests, and blood spilled is an abomination. He HID for three weeks from his own people and refused to step down.

Then today he finally comes out of his hidey-hole only to say he's STILL gonna stick around until September. God forbid he leave and there be rioting and chaos and Molotov...oh. That's already happened even with him in power?

And Suleiman is the same as him. He's a condescending, arrogant bastard and giving him power when he treats his people like stupid children who can't understand him doesn't bode well for the next few days, weeks, or months.

Mubarak, you need to leave. You need to go NOW before your people break into the presidential palace and shoot you on sight. Your military is abandoning you. Your friends are being brought up on corruption charges. Your people are screaming for your resignation. You are a bullheaded stupid old man who loves being in power and wants to be in control.

If you remain, your own people will kill you, and no one will be to blame but yourself.

I'm not Egyptian. I'm not part of this, per se. But even I can see the world would be a better place if Hosni Mubarak wasn't leading part of it.

Anyone else would have quit by now. You are not showing your strength by remaining; you are showing your weakness. And the time has come to end it.

Step down, Mubarak, while you still have a choice.
