Kudos to President Mubarak
I can't fathom how any government can allow the punishing and withholding of vital services to children simply to make a point. Especially when you have to consider that said government is one of the worst perpetrators of international violations history has ever seen.
Kudos to you Mr. President for allowing a bit of respite to those innocents who continue to suffer at the hands of tyranny. And yes I know Hamas is a terrorist organization, i have no sympathy or love for them and agree that those who committ their henious crimes against the Jewish people should be punished severely. But, that said, I can't sympathy or love for a government (note the term and recognize the difference between it and citizen) that has the chutzpah to impose such tyranny without regard for human life (especially the lives of the innocent).
