Egypt First. President Sadat and the men around him are nationalists, not Nasserists. Their revolution is over. "Unlike Nasser, Sadat does not lead us to the brink and then abandon us.

He emerges vain, hypocritical and childish, sinning with scared, hellish abandon and giving only enough of himself to be self-serving. People finally have to suffer in order to save him, but he is imperturbable in his self-righteousness to the end, telling God, "Things are rough on me I know, but I'm trying, Lord, I'm trying...
