Israel Matzav: ElBaradei to run for President of Egypt?

ElBaradei to run for President of Egypt?

Outgoing IAEA Chairman Mohamed ElBaradei is reportedly considering running for President of Egypt in 2011.

In a statement published in al-Quds al-Arabi, ElBaradei joined the ranks of the Egyptian opposition against bequeathing power to President Hosni Mubarak's son, Gamal.

This is the first time ElBaradei has official spoken of the possibility of running for president. He also wrote in his statement that the parliament and presidential elections in Egypt must be conducted based on the examples of the advanced democracies in the West.

Good luck with that. Maybe ElBaradei can seek asylum in Iran. Heh.
