No honor for this tyrant in his homeland: but he has honor in Israel

"Hosni Mubarak is evaporating from a nation that until a few months ago was awash in his image. An Egyptian court has ordered that the former president's name be peeled and scraped from hundreds of highways, schools, hospitals, institutions and other structures his wheedling minions consecrated in his honor. His pictures have been burned and his face — isn't it strange how he never seemed to age? — no longer gazes upon the Nile."  They should name building and prisons and military barracks after him in Israel.
