Mubarak behind bars

I was delighted to see that darling of Israel and Zionists worldwide behind bars.  I could hear Israeli sobbing in the background.   But it is funny how the man who always appeared in vigorous health suddenly became weak and incapacitated as soon as he was overthrown.  It seems he is still dying his hair.  But don't be fooled: I worry that his appearance today was intended to appease angry Egyptians and then to abort a real trial for all his crimes against the Egyptian people.  Pressures on the Military Council should be sustained.  Tantawi was not going to let Mubarak appear in court if the demonstrated did not start chanting for Tantawi's overthrow weeks ago.  He got the message and had to comply.   The symbolism of the images are enormous: the images are being shared on Arabic twitter and Facebook with great jubilation.
