Mubarak will head to Washington to participate in the direct Peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis , this is what is officially being said and nobody in Cairo buys it.
Egyptians believe that Mr. Mubarak will got to Washington in order to show his American partners the latest arrangement for the future of Egypt or in better words the arrangement of his succession.
There is no doubt that the succession file will be opened in that coming visit which could be the last for Mubarak as the President of Egypt.
I do not like to be romantic but regardless of these arrangements or talks , nobody except God in this world knows what the last word will be.
