One other thing - Didn't you say you did not believe in universal rigths and wrong. But are not "Human rights" a universal right? (or wrong). And isn't a proper respect for their dignity also a universal right or wrong. Why should someon respect a right in Egypt if it is not universal. Or by expecting them to respect human rights are you not assuming they are universal?
