Why Egypt Should DUMP the Israeli Peace Treaty

One of the hallmarks of a democracy, of a stable country with voting and equal rights, is the concept that future governments are responsible to uphold the agreements formed by previous governments.

Egypt's previous government was a dictatorship.

The government before that was also government of brute force.

Why should the Egyptian people, after risking their lives for the hope of democracy, be bound to the agreements of dictators who grabbed power and vast wealth in part due to the agreements they made with other governments?

Egypt should dump the Israel peace treaty... and every other agreement formed by their dictators.

Not today and not all at once. But elections are coming up. Let the parties state where they stand on oil contracts, military agreements, peace treaties; everything.

After the elections the new democratically elected Egyptian government can decide on a case by case basis which agreements to uphold, which to renegotiate and which to cancel.

I hope they uphold the peace treaty with Israel. I think peace is in everyone's interests. I like peace.

But the newly free people of Egypt should make that choice and not be bound to the residue from dictators.
