So there was a confrontation between Egyptian youth and Amr Musa, who is desperate to be president of Egypt. This is the New York Times' report on the face-off: "He took a fairly straightforward approach in answering often hostile questions for more than three hours, telling the audience that dealing with Israel was a reality, and that good relations with the United States were also important.
At one point, parts of the crowd responded by breaking into chants of “No normalization with Israel” and one questioner also demanded to know why the Arab League was so impotent." Well, it was more intense than this, much more. Watch for yourself: toward the end, a questioner goes on to ask him series of tough questions and then concludes by pressing to answer whether Israel is "a [legitimate] state, or not?" He was also asked about what he has done against Israeli nuclear weapons. Musa was as comfortable as Mubarak was during his last trip to Sharm Ash-Shaykh. (thanks Anas)
