Q: This just came to me, when will our "great president" Hosny Mubarak gett his @$$ of the "throne". When Egypt got only one bronze medal in the olympics, and many other countries got over 15 gold medals, it got me thinking, this is all because of Hosni Mubarak. He is the one who turned Egypt into a ruined country thrid world country that is ruled by dictatorship. Oh how I wish Gamal Abdel Nasser was the president, Egypt wouldn've been like China or India by now. I know this might soung weird, but the day a revolution starts in Egypt, It will be one of the happiest days of my life. What's your opinion on this? well you guys are right, it is partially our fault for not trying to stand up for our country or try to at least protest...when the people start to take this seriously, then we will move forward. Zoser I agree with you, thanks for sharing your answer. But there is one thing that I disagree with you about. It's Gamal Abdel Naser. He wasn't the one who started dictatorship, in fact I believe that him, Tito from Yugoslavia, and the president of India started a trio team to help each other become advanced countries since they were both in the same level. That was in the time of Nasr. Nasr said that we were importing EVERYTHING from cars to pencils, we must start doing things ourselves and help our economy. So the three countries started working together and they Egypt soon started building Airplane Engines! They were listed second in the list of "The most improved countries in the world". When Gamal Abdel Nasr died, look what happend. Look where India is now, and look where Egypt is. We could have been at the same level. The Indian president came back a few years later after nasr's death and looked around and said, YOU GUYS WERE BUILDING AIRPLANE ENGINES!! And now, you're destroyed
A: Dear Friend, This answer is very neutral,You/ you all and me, may do not like it but we have to accept the truth: 1) Hosni Mobarak did not turn Egypt to be a third world country, It was third world country when/since they invented this term in August, 1952,, and it was to describe countries currently called either "developing" or "under-developed", especially in Latin America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia, that were unaligned with either the Communist Soviet bloc or the Capitalist NATO bloc during the Cold War ,, 2) We got one only bronze medal not because of Hosni Mobarak but because of (khabatna=our failure),,what is the relation between him or his system /and how people try their best or not, Lots of other dictatorship countries got many Gold medals, why? 3) Egypt is really better than China,and India in term of GDP/c ,, (the term is to describe -in a way- how wealthy the individuals are) Yes do not be surprised : in a different word: Egyptian individuals are wealthier than Chinese or Indian ones,, and Figures do not lie ( I can put them if you want),It is true that china, and India have both bigger GDP(total wealth as a country) than Egypt,, but you can not compare , as they have more than 20 times population numbers/area than Egypt , (have you been there , I hv been to India, you do not want to know how they live!!!!!), so it is logic 4) As I lived Gamal Abdel Nasr days, he was the one who started ,the dictator ship , and started to grab Egypt to be ruined, simply , because we feel the effect of any time's period/era not immediately but at least 10 years after it started: example: The Progress in Egypt at Nasr period, was a result of the time of the royal family before him, all the cultural /social/or economic projects done during this era started ,with the Egyptian royal family,,and were felt in Nasr era, Now the 6 October war was a result of Nasr, not Sadat, simply because you can not repair and train the army in just 2 years, it was a direct result of Nasr's reforms in the army.,, Got me?? As I said I am so neutral in the answer, I do not defend anyone or attack anyone, But to be honest , -as an old man- since I started to understand, I always heard that we are living in our worst days (since Nasr era),, Simply because we - the Egyptians- do not work, and do not want to work, and do not like to work,,You can add , that we the Egyptians , do not really give a sh*t /do any effort to study,know nor progress, do not want to study,know, nor progress and do not like to study,, know, nor progress..lol,, Actually I can say , that we the Egyptians, do not want even other Egyptians to work, know nor progress, I always thought that most of the Egyptians are starting the days, while going to their works, not with a plan/intention to work, but with a plan/intention to ruin the days and frustrate other Egyptians (yankadoh 3la gerhom),,and make them lose time , money or temper,, If we are so crashed , why we crash others among us, it is not Hosny Mobarak, not Sadat, nor Naser, it is the simple Egyptian citizen who works only to annoy/ruin/destroy any other Egyptian -who by luck - under his authority ,or share with him the same road while driving (or living).. ..Even abroad- especially in the Gulf - the Egyptians enjoy to ruin other Egyptians -whom have the chance to progress or make money and better life/or deprive their natives the chance to do that .. the stories are 1000's -just ask any.. ..One person, or 1000 persons ,cannot make a difference in 83.300 million lives , but actually the 83 millions can make that difference,, If the 83 million Egyptians are ruined because only 1000 individuals,, that is another prove that is , because of (Khybat-hom) Thank you all ------- Now, I want to mention something ,would seem strange to others but as I said - I am an oldie- the revolution started in Egypt funded and encouraged by the USA to take the British/French influence and replace that with them.Nasr switched his orientation to the Russians and adapted a socialism/communism current which- to lots surprise- is closer to Islam than the capitalism, (takafol al nas),,All the disasters nowadays -worldwide -is because of the one pole evil capitalism..What made us so frustrated, (and hang our Khabah=Failiare, on someone else than ourselves) is the Capitalism,, simply because most of us can not match it (and that even with normal people abroad),, So if you want to wish something, do not wish the days of the revolution,, but wish to the days of the balance,,and the end of that evil .. (I am not communist/nor capitalist)
