Were It Not for America Mubarak Would Be Gone

“Where the sun never sets” was the British Empire in the past. The colonist’s attitude today has not changed — where being proud of colonizing a nation is publicly expressed. This is the situation we are going through today with the hegemony of the American empire. In the last century, many Arab nations were freed from the backward rule of the Ottoman Empire only to fall victim to the humiliating malignant control of the British Empire. We can see today that most Arab countries in the region are subjects to the American hegemony and its abhorrent rule.

India used to be called the jewel on the British crown. Today, the U.S. drools with excitement over the many jewels of the Middle East. The most appetizing ones are Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt. Saudi Arabia and Iraq for their oil and strategic position in the Gulf and Iraq’s neighboring country Iran. Egypt for its symbolic Islamic institution “Al Azhar,” as well as being a key factor for peace and war in the Middle East with Israel and its power to shape ideas and views of the whole Arab world.

If the U.S. was ever pressured to choose one Arab nation to involve itself in, it would be Egypt — for reasons and interests not of their own, but for the interest of the Israeli government. A similar political move occurred in the region in the past. In 1956, the British Empire used their military power and their alliances with Israel, France and the Arab leaders in the region to ensure their interests.

There were causalities from the Arab systems who accepted the colonist’s plans in the region; for example, the failing Iraqi monarchy.

The U.S. government took over the British involvement and control in the region standing against the tripartite war. On the other hand, the United States did not achieve its control over Egypt’s government until Anwar Al Sadat appeared in the political arena. He placed Egypt into military and government control of the United States. His successor Hosni Mubarak has done the same, allowing the involvement of the United States in Egyptian politics.

The hegemony of the United States government truly underestimated the Arabs’ audacity. For one, they did not hesitate to manifest their bias toward Israel and its politics of colonization, all without taking into consideration the negative repercussions of their bias towards Arab governments who stand firmly by the U.S. politics in the region. The U.S. did not anticipate the Arab reaction toward corrupt regimes in the region and the strength of the Arab people. The dismantling of corrupt systems was a surprise to the United States. The first revolution that swept the Middle East, which started in Tunisia recently, is one example.

Yesterday, the United States government and the Egyptian tyrant were holding on to power by a thread. Mubarak ordered the military to the streets after being encouraged and assured that the U.S. stands firmly with his government. We are not surprised to know that the head of Mubarak’s secret service was placed as a deputy working for the interests of the United States and Israel.

Obama recently appeared in the media mentioning the positive and strong relationship between the Egyptian government and the United States, without any words of support to the people. What was not said, however, is what was discussed behind closed doors between Obama and Mubarak. The Saudi King Abdullah’s comment gives us a clue on how the U.S. might have reacted to the recent uprising privately with Mubarak saying that “The Arab and Muslim person cannot bear tampering with it (Egypt’s) safety, security and stability by the infiltrated who claim they are for the freedom of speech between the dear crowds of Egypt. They are invigorators of hatred, people of exploitation and destruction who are terrorizing, looting and starting fires of malignant and sedition. The people of Saudi Arabia and its government with all our power stand by the Egyptian government and its dear people.”

This is how the United States and Saudi Arabia view the Egyptian revolution and have made it clear to Mubarak that they stand by his government. The revolution is viewed as sedition. Started by the infiltrated who hate the government and who are only thugs and thieves. It is clear that the United States and Saudi Arabia stand side by side with all their powers, resources and capabilities by the tyrant Mubarak against the people of Egypt who are acting out for freedom, justice and an honorable life.

The outraged Egyptian people know very well that the heart of the corrupt regime would not beat without the help and support of the United States. This is why we heard them chanting for the fall of the regime and calling Mubarak “America’s Client.”

When the Mubarak regime falls in the near future, God willing of course, the American military bases in the region will also fall. Therefore, we advise the Iraqi politicians and others in the region to announce their innocence, remove themselves from the American system and their involvement. They should announce their innocence and answer to the legal rights and needs of their citizens before it’s too late.
