Telegraph: Reports that President Mubarak shows no sign of giving up power. History does show an example, Tsar Nicholas 11 was Emperor with no clothes, no Army support and no popular support. The question is how long does President Mubarak have, as he has been a good ally to the West one would like to see him survive as in breathing if not as President. It can be argued that President Mubarak should declare that he has spoken to his Doctors and they advice leave of absence, then hand over power to his Vice - President and make a discreet departure to warmer areas, or he could face the sad end of Tsar Nicholas 11, discretion the better part of valour in this case.
