While its great sport to demonize Hosni Mubarak, let’s keep some history in mind. For three decades he has cooperated with the US and Israel, and enforced the peace accord his predecessor, Anwar Sadat worked out. In the roughly three decades before the peace agreement, Egypt fought four wars with Israel. Let’s hope and pray Egypt does not go the way of Iran after the Shah. America once had high hopes for Iran during its revolution and before the extremists took over.
