It might seem like a lot of hopeful and nice talk but we all know it's been done before and it's bullshit until we see some real results.

Encouraging them to "act" upon what they hear and then what? Watch them get imprisoned one by one by her husband's team? She's one to talk. In a country where bloggers and journalists alike get interrogated, harassed, and imprisoned, and where activists get beaten in public protests, and where police brutality and Baha'i human rights abuses are not uncommon, why isn't <strong>SHE</strong> acting upon what she hears? Why isn't she even attempting to bring these issues up and to free all the prisoners of conscience whose only crime is "acting" upon what they hear or even just expressing their opinions? Shame on Ms. Mubarak for thinking anyone can take this conference seriously considering Egypt's abysmal human rights record. We can't blame her for being hungry for some good PR though. If she wanted real peace and real change she'll do more than stand in front of a bunch of kids and preach tolerance when her husband is too busy silencing such voices of justice and free speech.
