• خطـاب مفتوح للجيش
  21 شباط (فبراير) 2009, بقلم عبد الحليم قنديل
  لا نريد جنرالا يخلف رأس النظام القائم، ويخلع البزة العسكرية ليرتدي أخري مدنية، ويترأس حزبا إداريا يحكم بلا سند ولا شرعية، ولا نريد أن ينتهي النظام الحالي إلي توريث بنسب العائلة، ولا بصلات المؤسسة الأمنية، بل أن تعود السلطة للشعب وحده، يتصرف فيها بإرادته الحرة الطليقة من كل قيد أو شبهة وصاية. نريد للبلاد جيشها الذي يحترم الدستور والقانون، ويحمي أمنها القومي المضيع، ويصون سلامة مصر، ويحرس خطاها، لا أن يسند نظاما يدوس القانون، ويدهس مبادئ الشرعية والدستور، وينتهك حقوق المصريين، ويسرق ثروة (…)

There has been no verification of this from any objective (…)
• Syria’s policies may save it from a Dignity Revolution
  4 February 2011, by John Bell
  Tunisia has fallen; Egypt is on the verge; Jordan, Yemen and Algeria are feeling the tremors. Many commentators have mentioned that these revolutions are about bread, freedom and justice, and they have also frequently mentioned “dignity.” Having used that word often to describe Palestinian needs vis-a-vis Israeli occupation, I sought a definition of this keyword, and found: “the quality of being worthy of esteem or respect.” This need for status and legitimacy in a community is basic and (…)
