How Hosni Mubarak Rolls

Just classic! - Egypt's Pharaoh taking a drive along Alexandria's corniche. Quite a sizeable motorcade.

it is normal for a head of state to have a lot of security with him,, the motorcade is long so that you don't know which car he is in -- do you think he was in the large limo in the middle between the motorcycles? certainly not - it's too logical. Now, of course how legitimately he has been elected president is another question.

Mubarak certainly has a reason to fear for his life.. with all those political prisoners of conscience and lots of underground opposition. Otherwise, Alexandria's corniche looks doesn't look bad - almost Copacabana in Rio Smile
