Dictator Hosni Mubarak really is deciding to end his thirty year reign of repression, tyranny and torture with a grim finale evocative not only of a Grade-B horror movie, but of an ancient Egyptian myth. Which myth, you may wonder? Read on.
Mubarak's giant ego, perhaps, permits no other end than the dramatic and traumatic one now unfolding daily in Tahrir Square, as if he really is the Egyptian embodiment of Dracula, actually Set, ancient Egyptian Lord of Darkness, who only knows how to communicate to the "peasants" of his kindgom with grotesque violence and buckets of blood.
