I'm reminding myself to stay at Sharm-El-Sheikh if I ever pass by the Middle East.

The place looks very nice indeed ...

Such a beautiful place ...

If I ever go to Egypt, it would be because of Sharm-El-Sheikh, and not those ruins and cemeteries ( I mean pyramids ) ....

TOL:-

Did you see the happy faces on the crowd of protesters, when they heard that Mubarak has resigned ?

How can one person, make so many people hate him ?

I thought that is a pretty common occurrence.

E.g boss-from-hell, client-from-hell, 'almighty-self-fantasizing-elite-scholarly-train-cannot-go-wrong-and-still-get-it-wrong-ministers' etc.

Hell, I bet some folks like Tom Cruise and there are others who don't :)

ElBaradei says he'll run for Egyptian president

CAIRO (Reuters) - Reformist Mohamed ElBaradei announced on Wednesday he would run in Egypt's presidential election this year and called for a completely new constitution instead of temporary amendments.

Hundreds of Islamists stone Egypt's ElBaradei by Mona Salem

Islamists hurled stones and shoes at Mohamed ElBaradei, Nobel Peace laureate and a secular contender for Egypt's presidency, as he tried to vote Saturday in a referendum on constitutional amendments.

ElBaradei was hit in the back by a stone thrown from the crowd of hundreds but managed to escape unhurt and slammed as "irresponsible" the holding of a referendum without adequate law and order.

"We don't want you," the mob shouted, throwing stones, shoes and water at the former UN nuclear watchdog chief as he turned up at a Cairo polling station, five weeks after president Hosni Mubarak was ousted by mass protests.

"He lives in the United States and wants to rule us. It's out of the question," one of them said.

"We don't want an American agent," said another.

ElBaradei beat a retreat to his car and left without voting at the polling station in Muqattam, a largely poor district in south Cairo.

"Went 2 vote w family attacked by organized thugs. Car smashed w rocks. Holding referendum in absence of law & order is an irresponsible act," he wrote on Twitter.

ElBaradei's brother Ali said he was unhurt. Muqattam is close to the scene of recent deadly clashes between Egypt's Christian Copt community and Muslims.

Members of the crowd interviewed by AFP before the assault identified themselves as Islamists without elaborating on their precise allegiance.

An official from the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest and most organised opposition movement, denied members of his group were involved.

"There are many types of Islamists. It's impossible that it was Muslim Brotherhood members, 100 percent impossible. We work with ElBaradei and coordinate with him," Gamal Nassar told AFP.

An estimated 45 million Egyptians were being asked to say "yes" or "no" to a package of constitutional changes intended to guide the Arab world's most populous state through fresh presidential and parliamentary polls within six months.

ElBaradei, a staunch opponent of the planned changes, is widely respected on the world stage for his work as an international diplomat.

But under the Mubarak regime, he came under repeated criticism for his frequent trips abroad and was accused of being out of touch with the reality of Egyptian life.

He went to vote in Saturday's referendum on constitutional reform after returning from a speaking engagement in New Delhi sponsored by India Today.

The main advocates of a "yes" vote have been the Muslim Brotherhood -- powerful and well-organised despite being outlawed under Mubarak -- and elements of the former ruling National Democratic Party.

Critics say they are the ones who stand to benefit if elections are held too quickly, without giving time for groups stymied by three decades of authoritarian rule to organise at grass roots level.

The Egyptians are back protesting at the square. Furthermore, people are taking security into their own hands.
The Arabic world is disintegrating into another chaotic 'revolution'.

it does not matter that mubarak ruled egypt for the last 30 years and for whatever good that he may have done for egyptians...

today, this man is charged as a criminal for ordering the murders of egyptians during the uprising... and if convicted, he possibly faces the death penalty...

so, there should be a very plain lesson here for us....

oppressors will usually receive their just ending...
