i saw a lot of egyptians in other countries. they are succeed. >> reporter: but change is something egyptians don't often see. for 28 years hosni mubarak has been the country's president. >> most egyptians have only known one president, and i think they have come to see that egypt has not developed economically over this period like many other countries have and has certainly not developed politically. egypt is no more democratic today than it was when president mubarak came to power in 1981. >> reporter: that was when anwar sadat was assassinated by muslim extremists. hosni mubarak had to act to stop an islamic uprising in the country. he did, and has done so ever since. he's also kept up the country's treaty with israel, all of which has made egypt a crucial ally of the united states in the region, which provides it with around $2 billion a year in economic and military aid. but egypt's lack of democracy makes for an uncomfortable relationship. the main opposition party, the muslim brotherhood, is banned, many of its leaders h

egypt was ready in 1971, eight years before an egyptian/israeli peace treaty was signed. according to the documents i found, secretary of state rogers and his assistants came back to washington and were stone walled by the president and the national security advisor who said oh, no, no, we have to get the soviets out of egypt. that's our primary objective. we're not going to give sadat this and the matter died there. the end result was the 1973 war, one of the most dangerous of the arab -- probably the most dangerous of the arab-israeli wars. certainly the most destructive with the possible exception of lebanon actually in 1982 where 17,000 people were killed. and the united states and the soviet union coming to the brink of a nuclear confrontation at the end of that conflict. all of this could have avoided were it not for the cold war blinkers which afflicted the president and the then-national security advisor. let me conclude by talking about this new cold war with iran. it's very hard to shake old habits. and, obviously, iran is not the soviet union. there is an ideol

as such, the egyptian approach is to come to a certain moment.there is no objection for hamas being a political force within the palestinian political spectrum, but also not to have veto power of what the general palestinian situation would be, if the situation for negotiations -- we will keep egypt -- it was another approach suggested. isolated until the time comes, that kind of view was not pursued. >> two more questions. wait one second. >> you seem to be saying that president mubarak is going to be urging -- i am extrapolating, but will president mubarak be urging obama to move towards final peace talks more rapidly? do you think president mubarak has a plan for any kind of a scheme? >> there is not a lot of details about the scheme. there is a word everybody uses, which is we know how -- this kind of mischievous words about something that we are not sure, we know we have something. that is the way i understand it. president mubarak, what he is saying, we have an agreement. that is what they talked about in that two previous meetings, to be m

we have ongoing consultations with the parties in the regions, so do the egyptians.hink it was an effort to compare notes not only on where we feel the parties are but with a well prepared to do as we have said we are trying to work hard to break conditions for negotiations to continue and we hope to have this phase, this process complete and the next few weeks. >> but is egypt willing to use this influence with countries that do not have relations with israel to push them to take these -- >> i think egypt and the united states shared the view we have to have parallel steps here and i think they share the view -- [inaudible] as the israelis focus on settlements as the palestinians strengthen their position and take steps to improve the security situation, you know, improved the stability in the areas they control, work on ending incitement of violence and we agree that there will need to be steps by a the countries, gestures but move towards normalization of relations between israel and the rest of the region. >> and [inaudible] newark international airport and demon

the letters in question, the first and the last of the old worl we found some basic letters of egyptian hieroglyphics. but the majority of the letters on the stones are from an indian language as well as symbols now recognized as universal due to the fact that they now form the root of most ltures, religions and sciences in the world. these include the cross, the sparrow, the triangle, the concentric circle and every other known geometric shape. the antiquity of the stones and the fact that they were discovered in the forest where is many who are buried underground shows that they were indigenous and that they belonged to human history, prehistory indeed. oral tradition of the natives said that the inscriptions were executed by the stone age people, the first humans to inhabit the area. and that they were invented by the first mother of human kind. they call this first mother and say that she was the first woman to have born a child b pregnancy and that her first child was a boy through whom death come in world. it was dedicated to her. just like the oral tradition. written in anna way,

and as such, the egyptian approach used to come to enter that reconciliation.amas to be a political force within the palestinian political spectrum in the opposition. but also not to have veto power of what the general palestinian situation will be if the situation for negotiations mature. so we will keep egypt -- there is another approach suggested that to isolate hamas altogether and isolate on till the time comes but that kind of view i think was not pursued. >> to more questions from the press. >> helen mccotter -- >> wait a second. >> you seemed to be saying that president mubarak is going to be urging, maybe i am extrapolating, but could you -- will president mubarak be urging obama to move towards final status peace talks more rapidly and do you think president mubarak has said the plan for that or any kind of scheme? >> well, you know, there is not a lot of details said about the scheme there is a word everybody used which is we know how the settlement will be. this kind of mysterious words about something that we know and are not sure but we know in th

money is the argument that you hear, for example, for many egyptian activists at but getting u.s. support in those circumstances can actually provide a degree of protection to those activists. the key point here is that there is no single a priori answer to the question of whether american support helps or hurts. we can't assume that we know this answer in a priori. and we certainly shouldn't make the patronizing decision to withhold our assistance out of concern that it might have a negative impact. what we have to do then is listen. we have to listen to the activists themselves to what they are trying to do, and to what they think we can do to help. and we have to understand that even in a given country, there may be a range of answers that we hear. and what that means in terms of u.s. policy is that we have to have a pariah of mechanisms available by which to provide rhetorical support, diplomatic support, financial support that are relevant, different instruments to different actors. finally, i think it is important to underscore one of the point that josh makes in his introdu

i guess in the egyptian relation, it got to be much more strategic than this. it got to be much more strategic to include, and you can't keep that just made without syria. syria is an important part of the game. so the game has comprehensive. because syria got some of the costs whether anybody like it or not. and in fact, i must say the syrians have been helpful in the last few months actually have been helpful on the cease fire. we have that now, the law, it couldn't continue. hamas coming to cairo and negotiating couldn't have been without the syrians. you know the way the liberties election and how it was, it couldn't have been without the syrians. the syrians i guess are expecting a kind of reward for this. that they will have -- they will be a part of a serious peace process as well. in the lighter circle a not only important, not only is the conflict isolated at least in american eyes from the gender of the strategic situation in ma malaysia, which is many ways since september 11. we have the war in iraq, the war in afghanistan, and the other wars in the
