THE TIME FOR PRESIDENT MUBARAK TO GO HAS COME.....BEFORE VIOLENCE AND KILLNG RAVAGES EGYPT AND FURTHER HARMS THE MIDDLE EAST...........

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's decision not to contest the next election in September, is a wise choice. But vowing to stay on until then, is not. Especially, after the past three days violence of pro-Mubarak forces against the anti Mubarak protesters. A drawn out eight month transition to new Egyptian leadership, with President Mubarak can only worsen the Egyptian Crisis and further damage the country and the Middle East. It is my view that a quicker, smoother, change over is necessary; and that Hosni Mubarak must step down now, not in eight months time. It must be down diplomatically and sensitively, but with dispatch and resolution. Otherwise, the entire Middle East peace process and the Egyptian People stand to suffer unnecessary bllodshed and death, all so that one man can cling to power for a little longer time...........May Wisdom, Peace, And Justice Prevail, Fr.
