{الفكر القومي العربي} البراد عي

Finally I wish to speak on the subject!

Dr. Mohamed El-Baradei is one of the most honorable, dedicated and patriotic Egyptians I have had the luck to meet, be associated with and admire.

Since he retired from the IAEA and appeared on the Egyptian political scene he has contributed to initiating the spark of the 25th January Revolution and sustaining its march forward than any one in Egypt or the diaspora.

That being said, he is neither divine  nor his actions and utterances are sacred. I have often agreed, and sometimes differed with his judgements. But I have never questioned his intentions, integrity or sincerity.

His contributions to modern Egyptian history and the monumental struggle of this great nation toward modernity, democracy, the rule of law and social justice will forever be a badge of honor on his chest more valuable than all previous national and international honors.
