EGYPT IS GOING TO PUT MUBARAK ON TRIAL FOR DEATHS DURING PROTESTS
25th May 2011
Mubarak stepped down from power voluntarily. Would he have done so had he known that the new regime would put him on trial for the acts he took as president to preserve his rule? Of course not, he would have fought to the end. All leaders of Muslim countries have corrupt deals for personal gain and use force against people who threaten their regime. Putting on trial a former leader who voluntarily gave up his power assures that no Muslim leader in the future will ever voluntarily give up his power. Power will never change hands except when the former power possessor’s cold dead hands are pried from it.
Obviously Khaddafi learned from Mubarrak’s mistake. Of course, for the ideological, present revenge is important, future progress not so much.
