Former President Mubarak needs to be whisked out of Egypt for treatment.

I don't want to hear how this man, a man of peace for a very long time has died of neglect.


This picture shows him with dark eyeglasses to protect his vision from photo-sensitivity, which is a symptom of a stroke.


This picture also shows a drop on the right side of his face, the left side of the viewer. I believe he has already had a stroke that is obvious in this photo. He could have extended the stroke. He needs treatment at the best hospital to save his life.


President Mubarak was a good friend to the USA and Israel. He joined with other Middle East leaders to bring peace to the Palestinians. 


I realize the Egyptian people want freedom and their own government. I realize the Muslim populous has been oppressed for decades. That doesn't make him an evil man, that makes him a broker for his people in the real world.


He dealt with the demonstrations inappropriately and was a victim of his own understanding of power available to him. People died for their freedom in Egypt and the struggle is still not over, but, there is horizon becoming clearer everyday. 


President Mubarak was a man of peace seeking stability for his nation and those in the region. He should not be demoralized to his death. He needs to receive treatment and those that seek to punish him with his life, I remind, the Egyptian courts did not sentence him to death. If freedom and democracy are the goals of the Egyptian people then they need to understand the dynamics of that democracy,  improve on these dynamics and abide by their laws and courts.


Peaceful people are not seeking vengeance, they seek justice. Human rights begins with the understanding the Egyptian people own those human rights and extend them to even the most hated among them. Egypt has to do the right thing and do it for the dignity of their nation and for the respect of the international community.
