Anwar Sadat: Visionary who Dared

Sadat's final years were embittered by his feeling that although he had achieved the great breakthrough by making peace with Israel, he had failed to give his people economic security. At the same time he was threatened and eventually assassinated by fanatics who misused Islam for their own fundamentalist endsthe same people who have since carried out terrorist attacks all over the world. Like Saddat, Yitzhak Rabin was a visionary, creator and a victim of a ruthless assassin.
