Subject: Falling out of grace

 

             Today's event in Alarish, possible thirteen policemen, military Egyptian personal , may be more, have fallen in their line of duty protecting our Egyptian boarder which is a gate way with the Israeli boarder.

Once we have shaken the disgust and sadness off our eyes , we must start to engage our brain.Here is what we have :

We have a president who must be held accountable and responsible for every murder which took place from the day he took office up till now, because he accepted the job and he promised us that security was going to be his first priority. Once he realized that the job was bigger than his ability and that Dr. Mursy could not deliver the security of the citizens , he should have apologized to the Egyptian and left the office immediately.

President Mursy's priorities were not Egypt's priorities but for sure they may have been his party goals and objective.I can not imagine that as much as Islam and christian called to love your neighbor, that this neighbor was never  more important than your house hold. As a matter of fact I think Dr. Mursy for rushing to help Gaza before strengthening Egypt may hinder Gaza and Egypt together for years to come.

Dr. Mursy decreed the extremist prisoners , some of them had files and judgement for murder, while the innocent revolutionists are still rotting in jail was not Egypt's priority.

Appointing an inexperienced prime minister who failed to manage Egypt water and irrigation file to a point that Egypt will suffer for many generations  to come is a big unforgivable mistake . Taking a whole month to put a technocratic government together which turned to be nothing technocratic about it is another huge mistake. Lack of transparency with the Egyptians who were so hungry for honesty and integrity did not add credibility to our new president. Ignoring the civil society leaders who have been carrying Egypt on their shoulders , and not responding to their several warning is a huge unforgivable mistake.

Then comes SCAF who has been in charge of the country since February 18th  2011 or there about . SCAF has been eager to protect their wealth and empire more than protecting Egypt , they tried to play politics to protect themselves, 'their families and friends, they worked hard to keep their status qua , and at the end they might have nothing, no market to sell their products to, the portfolio   they own might not be worth much should Egypt turn to be Iraq or Somalia . Worse yet , the Egyptians will never forgive them if Israel enters Sinai one more time under the excuse of protecting themselves !.

Egyptians may have forgiven their military for the shame they brought upon us in 1967 but I do not think we will be that naive and kind again.

Instead of SCAF protecting our boarders , we have skeleton  crew  who were taken by a group of small armed  men  in an enemy's board . Who is accountable for that ? Who is protecting our boarders while SCAF is concerned with protecting their wealth and power ?

If that is how weak our boarder with Israel is, how about the rest of Egypt's huge boarders ? Have we become a gate way for running a weapon's market ? Have we become a safe haven for Alkaida  and the like ? Worse yet , would SCAF use the Israeli threat to stage a cute  and keep ruling Egypt ?

SCAF carries the same accountability as the current president and government in what is going on in Egypt . All is shared equally.

 

When it comes to the Arab Countries , we did not expect any better from them. These are new countries that knows no history or honor , they only know the color of oil , and they will not extend a hand to another country in need.

The United States of America might be doing a lot of lib service to Egypt and the Egyptians, but the truth of the matter is that the United States is doing more harm than good. The United States of America has not send a dime to Egypt as an economic aid or as a forgiveness to the loans or any kind of economic or financial help, therefore Egypt must not count on the US as a friend either. In case any one mixes between the military aid and the economic aid, all the 1.3 billion dollars which goes to Egypt is to pay for the interest on the loan and to pay for the American Companies  service which was forced on Egypt as part of the military package , so the United States of America gets free service in the Suez Canal, treated as a priority customer without pay, free and priority access to our air space, priority access to our military ability and survey on an annual basses . All for free.

Egypt is no longer on the brink of falling, Egypt has printed to what I heard forty billion Egyptian pounds which it dumped in the market without any assets , financial packing or real economic sense, just monopoly play money.

Would the world be better if Egypt falls ? I doubt that so much , so The United States of America must help Egypt to rise, the Arabs should help Egypt economy without trying to fish for cheap opportunities, SCAF must go to their job of protecting Egypt's borders and leave the ruling of Egypt to civilians, and Dr. Mursy and his Cabinet should stop strengthen  their own agenda and take care of Egypt's needs now.
