'History will judge me...'

"Hosni Mubarak, who is addressing you today, is proud of many years he has spent serving Egypt and its people. This dear homeland is mine as well as every Egyptian's - a homeland I have lived in and for it I have fought, defending its land, sovereignty and interests. Here is where I die. History will judge me as well as others, for good and bad. People come and go but home never goes. Ancient Egypt is eternal; its leadership and responsibility are passed along its natives. That, we must guarantee, should be done proudly, solemnly and in dignity, generation after generation. May god bless this country and its people..."
