So then, Mubarak is finally on trial. All the Egyptians in my office are fixed to the telly wondering what will happen - obviously no one really cares but my view is that they really do need to dust this one off quickly so that they can move on.

But, month of peace and forgiveness and all that... will they get the execution they need/want?

I'm going to back the religion of peace and bet that the old boy gets a reprieve.

He is laying on a bed in court...That's a bit of a first.

I have faith that all of Mubarack's deals involving the West and the Saudis will see the lgiht of day...no really I am sure the trial will reveal everything

No way he'll be sentenced to death. A zillion years in prison for corruption maybe.

I'm interested to see if his old generals will come out and play.
