America failing Egyptians

DEAR EDITOR - It seems the last two weeks have been very hectic politically etc and it’s very difficult to comment on anything with certainity. One thing for sure is that the true colours of America are there for all to see.
They have really stuck in with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak who is their ally in the Middle East. They talk of reforms and working with Mubarak when the few people on the streets say they no longer want Mubarak.
Regime change is only acceptable to them when their allies are not involved. Since when does America support 'dictators'? Anyway I wish peace and tranquil to the people of Egypt.
The western press as usual fanned this uprising, but clearly the people are now tired and regretting.
It was a spontaneous thing which they did for fun and now they don’t have food, supplies and there is massive looting and crime.
Slowly many more people are saying: "Let Mubarak stay in power in the transitional period".
Opposition parties and forces have a way of multiplying their numbers and popularity. Egypt has 84 million people with maybe just 4 million anti-Mubarak, no wonder they couldn’t reach the 1 million they wanted today.
But enough said. Peace be to Egypt.
I missed out on the tribal debate, but Welshman Ncube and his lot must be really mad to suggest President Mugabe is tribalistic.
President Mugabe is principled, period. That’s why he has refused to swear in Roy Bennett without any apologies.
As for Ncube, let protocol take its place.
