`Ala' Al-Aswani

This Egyptian novelist writes about the sectarian crisis in Egypt.  He also writes about the Israeli sabotaging role in the new Egypt.  It has been a delight as of late to read the Egyptian press.  They write about how Israeli leaders would get whatever they wanted from Egypt (in terms of policies and actions) simply by making a phone call to their puppet Mubarak.  It is great for us hopeful for a progress in the Egyptian uprising that Mubarak was a puppet for Israel/US/Saudi Arabia.  The new state will have to break with those policies or it will be confused with the old regime.
