US 'Timid' over Egyptian Reform

The United States has not persistently pressed for democratic reforms or a redress of human rights grievances in Egypt, Dunne said, leading Mubarak to believe that the United States did not place a high priority on these issues. As a result, he never seriously attempted to implement reforms in Egypt. Now, “it is too late for reforms,” suggests Dunne. The Egyptian people want to see Mubarak abdicate power.
