It seems as though the egyptian uprisings have been too much for former president Hosni Mubarak. CNN online reports that Mubarak was recently hospitalized at harm el-Sheikh International Hospital in Egypt after suffering a heart attack during a news report earlier this week.
Supposedly after being questioned about corruption charges by journalists, Mubarak started to feel unwell and as the world saw, suffer a minor heart flub.
"Egypt's health minister, Ashraf Hatem, later said that Mubarak's condition was stable enough to allow prosecutors to resume questioning at the hospital, according to the state-owned Al Ahram newspaper," as stated on CNN online.
In defense of himself and his family, Mubarak was noted to have denied all accusations and attacks on his personal life, attempting to keep all questions and threats strictly political-based. Go so far as to allow investagators into his homes and federal documents in order to scan for corruption, Mubarak has tried to prove his innocence in more ways than one to the rest of the world.
It makes you wonder, Mubarak was obviously doing something wrong, otherwise there would have been no uprising January 25. However did he do anything directly wrong? In no way am I supporting the three decade rule of Mubarak and his policies, but could he have helped how his country was run? Well, yes, because he is the President, but the same goes with President Obama now in America. It wasn't HIS fault we were involved in Iraq. Or HIS fault we were stuck in a massive economic slump. Or HIS fault that the BP Oil Spill happened. Or HIS fault that republicans and democrats cant get along... See where I'm going with this? Perhaps 30 years of that was too much for the Egyptians (or anyone else for that matter), but come on people, let the guy at least take a breather from his recent health scare.
