Egyptian Today 18/1/2008 think Michele Dunne, senior sea shell shop researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, chief editor of Arab Reform Bulletin that the Egyptian people have the right to have the opportunity to decide its position toward democracy, away from the tutelage of one, believes that the ruling regime in Egypt did not allow real competition, it requires courage to relinquish power and delivery possibility traded. Worked Michele Dunne at the White House between 2002 and 2003, and tried during this period heal the rift in U.S. relations with the Islamic countries, and to emphasize the separation between sea shell shop the war on terrorism and Islam as a religion, and organized meetings brought together President Bush بالجالية Muslim in the United States, and is considered sea shell shop one of the most prominent experts Egyptian affairs at the American Research Center.
There is a state of public frustration prevails political sea shell shop and popular circles in Egypt, Does it seem to you frustrated? - Any country in the process of change or transition is witnessing a period of activity, followed by a period of stagnation, then back to the political power of the activity again, because of political change does not go in a straight line. I was concerned about some of the developments in Egypt recently, but I think that there are important developments occurred upbeat, such as freedom of expression, and the emergence of independent media, and the expansion of non-governmental organizations, sea shell shop but unfortunately we have seen a recent judgment on newspaper editors in matters related to criticize the government, Moreover Close two Hakoukatin organizations, and I hope that this is not a new direction for the government. It seems to me that there is still a kind of vitality and courage in the media and the press, sea shell shop and that people are willing to continue to press for the freedom of expression of the largest, even if they faced problems from the government, and I hope to continue this, and that recent cases just individual cases does not reflect the general sea shell shop trend to return Freedoms, which has been acquired over the past two years.
Do تلمسين through Word recent sea shell shop National sea shell shop Party conference that there is an intention to bequeath? - It is noted that each time held Conference National Party is becoming increasingly important role of Gamal Mubarak, and appears as the leading candidate, and there are many things have been arranged in order to become the favorite of the National Party, but there are a lot of things that we do not know, and that will affect the upcoming presidential sea shell shop election, what will be the circumstances? And what will happen at that time?! I think it's very difficult to know this in advance.
Do you think that the current regime in Egypt can continue in the direction of opening up the political sphere are real? - They can if they want, but the problem is that they now say they are repairing the laws and the Constitution, but what they have not done that they did not open the door real real competition, and this is something you have to do, we have to face this matter and decide if they believe in trading power, by allowing competition and the possibility that someday lose the elections, that is able to do, but it is very difficult to any group remained in power to abandon them.
I wrote in a research paper, in conjunction with Dr. Amr Hamzawy and Dr. Nathan sea shell shop Brown that the coming period will be very important in Egyptian relations - the U.S., because this phase will see the election of a new Egyptian president .. Do you think that the United States learn from Mubarak's succession sea shell shop will support? - I'm sure fully on this matter more than sure for those who succeed Mubarak, there is no specific vision for the United States those who support, and there is even just a dialogue between the United States and the Egyptian government about who will come after Mubarak, he told me that U.S. officials that they want to withdraw their hand from This, they believe it is not appropriate to intervene and support a particular candidate. Our government does not think strategically to future problems, so I can be honest administration is dealing with the immediate problems, but do not have a strategic vision.
Have you ever stopped the U.S. administration support for democracy? - I would like to emphasize sea shell shop that the change in Egypt is a matter for Egyptians, not the United States. If the trend now in the United States away from the spread of democracy, the talk about it will probably not during sea shell shop this administration, and perhaps sea shell shop encourage the United States to resume its support for democracy in Egypt, the same force that was between 2003 and 2005, which will be performed by people in this region and whether There will be a democratic movement then it will be on the United States to do the reaction about it. The issue of the spread of democracy in the whole world have always been part of American foreign policy, and the new command in the Bush administration is focusing on spreading democracy in the Middle East .. Bush did not invent this policy every former American presidents sea shell shop had them sold in this matter.
Pain spreading democracy is not part of the service of American interests abroad? - Sometimes .. But do not forget that there was a relationship of friendship between the U.S. administration and dictators, and stood beside the strong management reform, sea shell shop as happened, sea shell shop for example, in the Philippines. American interests are always important and the issue of the spread of democracy abroad, and one of these interests, but they are not the only stakeholders. The question is: Was the issue of spreading democracy in the Middle East, of interest to the U.S. administration? He did not answer this matter on the agenda, the American College, but he is now at the head of the American interests in the region, and for Bush put it at the top of the agenda, but now it has fallen to USA
