mubarak and these people but if we wanted to have these people when they would have asked mubarak to go down. i'm asking why. if the brotherhood came in that's why my criticism is that the administration was badly advised in the sense that only when the brotherhood would go in and you would let go of mubarak because it may have been a good intention that we want to know what they are going to do. what is the islamist going to do because there is no trust in the civil society and liberal. i want to raise one other point about the u.s. political dynamics and that's another point where i found your assertions in the buck to be stronger than i would make. and then i will leave the u.s. behind and go back to the region when it touches on some other countries. so one other point about u.s. politics where i found your assertions very strong is in your characterization of the influence of what you call the lobby which i think is a very fair term and i'm glad that you put it on the table where escalante because catch my head a little and i said i wonder if it's as bad as that because there wa

this was the beginning of the collapse of the mubarak regime. then as it was quoted into the brotherhood started to go inside of the square coordinated themselves or others with more visible in washington and a renter -- all media and it was when the brotherhood went and the statement changed. for the first time because the brotherhood was still out. when the brotherhood was in and the speeches began to become actual then they should resign. >> host: i will give you a different implication, tell me if i'm wrong, but i think what you said is because the brotherhood joined and the u.s. administration had a favorable attitude, then our administration decided to go further and saying you must go in supporting. and so it sounds as if our favorable attitude toward the brotherhood is what allows us to go further. and an alternative explanation of the sequence i don't disagree with your description of the sequence, but another way to look at it is through the secular people, liberal minded and there have been many previous demonstrations as you know so

mubarak was never elected. he was a dictator for 30 years. president morsi was elected by the people of egypt, and it's the egyptians right, to go to the streets. the problem was not going to the streets during morsi. the problem was the military intervention kidnapping the president, number one. canceling the constitution. canceling the parliament. killing thousands of egyptians in the streets, and arresting over 23,000. the human rights situation is moving from ugly to uglier. >> abdul, i have to stop you there. thank you very much, indeed, for taking the time to speak to us here at al jazeera. >> thank you, thank you for having me. >> now we got a lot more to come here on al jazeera. including osama bin laden son-in-law. he gives surprising testimony in a new york court. we'll get a live update. >> the conduct was shameful showing blatant disregard for systems and laws designed to look after safety of consumers. >> toyota misleading drivers about their faulty cars. >>> coming up in sport we'll be inside old trafford as man united plans to
