#1 Mubarak urged the Palestinians, who are to elect a successor to Yasser Arafat on January 9, to unite behind Mahmoud Abbas, the interim Palestinian leader.

Uniting behind Mazen is not enough. The Paleos need to give up the Jew-hating. They must stop the constant conspiring to attack Israel, the constant teaching of Jew-hatred in Paleo schools, and crush all the organizations dedicated to Jew-hating. There must be no ground given to the Paleos until these things happen. Is Mubarak willing to lead the way? He can, by making these points nice and clear.

#2 That will be hard for him, BaR. Mubarak's government sponsored a 10-part TV special based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion during Ramadan last year. The ancient Jewish communities of Egypt, some founded during the time of Alexander the Great, were eradicated after 1948. And how can the West demand such things of the Muslim world, when our own universities teach that Israel is the root of all evil? (I have a 14 year old daughter who will head to a good university in a few years -- if she keeps up her grades. She tests for her black belt this Friday, and does not tolerate idiocy well. I am very concerned about her college experience, as they like to call it.)

#3 Mubarak is a no good hypocrite who does what is convenient for him at the moment.
We should not judge him by his declarations but by what he does.
Egypt had a large part in the weapon smuggling into Gaza through the egyptian border.
They have their own agenda to push (which we should not blame them for) and we must not be misled by PR stunts they ocassionaly perform.

#4 Abbas beating Bargouti, and Mubarak pushing Pals to vote for Abbas against Bargouti, may not be everything wed want, buts its a good step.

Mubarak telling Pals that Sharon is their best chance for peace, is a massive piece of reality centeredness on his part - something not only other arabs need to know, but lots of people in the West.
