Obliterating Mubarak's Name

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:
The Mubarak Children's Hospital in Gaza was built in 1990 by Egyptian businessmen. Today Hamas changed the hospital's name to Tahrir Hospital.
Tahrir translates to mean liberation or independence. Tahrir Square is the place in Cairo in which the protesters gathered to protest.

This is just the first of many renamings that will be taking place.

Hamas is the Gaza branch of the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt and it was the Muslim Brotherhood that assassinated Anwar Sadat, Hosni Mubarak's predecessor and mentor.
Hamas hated Mubarak and now they are jumping at the opportunity to expunge him from their midst.
In the meantime it is rumored that Mubarak is not taking his medicine and is likely to die in his palace at Sharm al Sheikh.
