You know guys, after few months following many Egyptian bloggers I discovered that there is too much exaggeration in judging Mubarak regime. What Mubarak regime is doing had exactly been done and worse by Nassir and Sadat. Though in the era of President Nassir we were even poorer. So what happened? There are many factors that lead to that. 1- We have the freedom to talk, not totally but at least we became vocal and upfront than the previous generation. 2- The huge revolution in communication technology, basically the internet that gathered people of same ideology across the Country while they live far from one another and often they dont even know each others, The mobile phone that enabled us to photgraph a police officer torturing a suspect, the satellites that made us see the world without leaving our living room and the digital camera that made us catch a scene and immdediately post it on the internet 3- The generation that is complaining now in the generation of age 20-35. Those who never suffered from Sadat regime or Nassir regime. They are frunstrated by the lack or work and economy that is not at their expectations. What was the economy during Nassir era? Horrible What was the police doing with the suspects across the times? Horrible, but because there was no communication with the world we didnt feel the poverty not seen the torture. Bottom line we just perosnally hate the man. He is not the charismatic leader like those we had before and when we started to get fed up and hoping that he gone now popped up the idea that his son will take over after his father. This blend of feelings of despiration and fear of tomorrow that makes us exaggerating but Mubarak is not worse than the others, ask the parents and grandparents and they well tell.
