Hosni Mubarak refuses food!
I have learnt from media reports that 83 year old Egypt's ex-president Hosni Mubarak is refusing food in his hospital detention and has become extremely weak, though critics accuse him of pretence to avoid trial. Mubarak has been detained since April this year on charge of ordering the killing of anti-regime protesters and corruption. However many dictators in the history considered themselves as benevolent rulers. They could not even think that they could do anything wrong. Many of them led very simple life. They believed that they always thought of the wellbeing of their countrymen. They took credit for their capability of taking merciless action against the wrong-doers and showing limitless kindness to the benefactors.
Hosni Mubarak's food refusal fails to create any compassion among his countrymen, perhaps because once their aspiration failed to create any compassion in him.
