King Tut of The Latest Millennium

Or

The Egyptians Had The Guts To Question Their Last Pharaoh!

Edited By: Abu Al Haq

The Scene: King Tut's Tomb

The Dialogue: Recalling that scene of a kid addressing his father, in (Circus of

Heaven by Yes)

Son: Can I ask you something Dad? Why did they cover King Tut's face with a gold

mask?

Father: Son, when a man chooses to be in charge of millions of people's lives anddestinies, he is really choosing to be held responsible for all the atrocities

implemented by him, his family, and all his staff and protagonists, down to the lowest

soldier or policeman out there. I guess after a long reign of wrongdoing so many

people ,in different kinds and sizes, a mask was understood to be able to hide an ugly

face , even if it were a repenting one. The gold part of this whole thing is perhaps to

distract attention of the beholders from the "thing" lying behind the mask to a rather

"Other" golden shiny image, somehow! It is all a show thing dear son.

These days, and from a long era of being an unquestionable president fathering and

husbanding an untouchable family, leading a whole regime of dictatorship and

corruption, all the way to a pretty short era of being a helpless defendant behind thebars, accused, and almost a condemned criminal, charged of being in charge of

robbing a whole Egypt all out of its welfare, national pride and dignity, and allowing

his family members to monopolize everything in a regime that was said to be

republican ,so they used to describe it , same as any other Arab regime around them

where sons inherit their fathers in more than the Islamic Shari'a could ever allow them

to acquire.. so seems the life of Husni Mubarak the ex-president of Egypt, in brief.

The Egyptians slept on it for decades, same as did the Tunisians and the Libyans, for

the price of revolting had always been catastrophic, since the early days of states in

this region of the world where logic is invisible and no citizen can question the rulerwhere do all the country's revenues go ,or where the hell did he bring all those super

millions to build palaces that can put all those 1001 nights palaces and castles in the

shade , but every sleep is destined to end in an awakening of some kind , and the last

Pharaoh woke up lately to find himself lying on a couch behind the bars in a court that

he recognized to be the cul-de-sac of his rivals and foes ,yet he showed there almost

like King Tut , but without any gold mask to cover his disgrace. He couldn't even

stand tall as Saddam Husain did; he even missed the fierce retaliation of Saddam

Husain as he showed scratching the face of his prosecutor. Mubarak lost the tiniest

traces of arrogance and agility of what he used to reflect for decades, quite typical in

stances like these. Dictatorship in the Mid East is a trend of life; I doubt it that most

Americans are acknowledged of it. The way Mubarak ruled over his people , and thatpracticed on the level of most presidents , sheiks, and monarchs is a mere continuation

of what is conducted and preached inside the casual family atmosphere ,the class

rooms , markets and workshops where illiterate craftsmen contribute to dwarfing their

junior assistants, adding more to the dilemma of any Arab community. Mosques are

no exception to this, the dogma followed is further supersized to abort any

questioning move, resulting in a much exaggerated image of ordinary clerics, the

dilemma is deepened even furthermore. The revolutionary Islam as it landed there inthe Arab peninsula some fourteen centuries ago, and till the late days of the second

Caliph ,Omar Bin Alkhattab ( recalling how he once demanded his people to correct

him if he were ever to go wrong or astray , and accepted a commentator saying that

Muslims would do, even if it were to take swords to do so), that genuine image of the

very revolutionary Islam had been altered ,dwarfed and deformed gradually with the

pass of time, a back-in-time act of Arabs whose homage was for the tribal identity and

ethics more than it was for the new religion, and due to the infiltration of Persian

newcomers, still carrying traces of total submission to God-like Kisra (Persian

Monarch) of their past , that genuine Islam got sort of minimized to the fading image

that we are witnessing today where Sultans are understood to be the shadow of the

Deity on earth, an alteration to fit any Sultan and keep his people under hisunquestionable command for as long as he may live, and for what his inheriting sons

would be living it too.

The Egyptians were bold enough to take the initiative and try their own president and

his gang, for all the sins that they had committed so far. I guess it is time for the

American people too to try their late president , George W. Bush, and his gang of

right wing hawks, and stand them guilty of all the atrocities and crimes done in Iraq

under the administration that led all investigations of the Bin Ladin's conspiracy to

point to the wrong direction and save the real perpetrators from their just punishment ,

allowing Iraq eventually to fall as a ripe apple into the long waiting hands of the

clerics of Iran ,as a reward for their support. All this seems to be at the cost of so

many thousands of US Army casualties , all for nothing like they say, except for

zillions of dollars wasted , and the daily scene of disabled veterans asking for alimony

,there around Times Square and all around other states streets and avenues sidewalks .
