Before all these celebrations get out of hand, people should know that the latest reports on Mubarack are that he is hosting a giant party in his seaside palace, with scores of Houris and Belly Dancers wildly dancing, while he parades around the dance floor amongst them, gyrating crazily to the blasting sounds of ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’.

Now, the first order of things is to start the process of extraditing the two evil tyrants, wherever they might try to hide and put them on trial for a certain death sentence, and furthermore, to dig out for their billions of stolen assets deposited in Western banks and return these funds to the people.
