Haifa Wahbe Loves Her Mubarak

and the January 25th Revolution

The notorious Lebanese diva Haifa Wahbe has comments on the Egyptian revolution and since she is married to an Egyptian business man, she thinks she has it all figured out. At first she is asking the good Lord to protect Egypt because according to the diva, Egypt is the heart of the Arab people. She said that she was worried about the change and was deeply concerned for Egypt--her second home as she calls it.

So far so good, until the diva said the following, I am against insulting the former president and using harsh language to criticize him because he represents all the people of Egypt. Here is where I think Haifa is wrong, Hosny Mubarak did not represent the people, he represent the business people like the diva's husband. He abused his powers for over 30 years, so it's enough for him to have stayed in office for this long. There are some who surely like the guy--those who benefited from him and those who believe his tale of being the guy who defeated the Israelis in 1973.

I think Haifa know her place, but she is way over her head with those recent remarks....she clearly has not spoke to a young person or a poor unemployed person who went out to bring the regime down. Because God knows, the people in the music business did well under this former arrogant dictator.

Here is old song of how much she loves Egypt, she released it more than a year ago when Egypt and Algeria had their soccer match and rivalry that got some coverage.
