Amr Mousa; Wrong for Egypt………Stop Sign by Jamil Shawwa

I have monitored Amr Mousa, the former Egyptian foreign minister and the current secretary general of the Arab league, over the years and came to the conclusion that this person is the last one Egypt needs to have as president at this stage of its history. When Amr Mousa talks, you get the feeling that you are before a person with no skills or intellect. When he acts, you feel as if he still belongs to the same school that ruined Egypt for the last sixty years. I saw him once in the World Economic conference in Davos on stage with the Israeli president Shimon Peres and the Turkish Prime Minister Ardogan, he was setting and looking like a trapped mouse, pretending that he was not listening to Peres and in the same time pretending to cheer Ardogan. A fluid man, not a compliment, and a mild personality. A typical government employee, not a leader. Egypt needs a parliamentary system where the parliament rules and a prime minister as the head of state as in Israel and Iraq, England, and other countries. Bring Mousa to office and you will have another carbon copy of Mubarak but on a lower scale and lesser brightness. Now of course if he gets elected in free elections, then that is another story, but I think the Egyptians who suffered for thousands of years from the rule of the ancient and modern pharos are smart enough not to elect this boring, annoying, talentless person as their president.
