I, too, am of the opinion that Mubarak leaving is not necessarily a good thing for everyone involved.
I'm worried about what might happen to Israel.

So far the armed force remained united. Civil war is unlikely as the egyptians are a bunch of nationalists and very prideful of their heritage. They do have their share of wacko like the Muslim Brotherhood, along with few other extreme right groups.
US diplomats are very active currently, and are in contact with all major parties. US will weigh its support once there is a clear winner of the next 'regime.'
Be prepared and hope for the best I guess.
... in addition, I would like the US State Dept shift its focus to the US counselor that is being held HOSTAGE by the Paki's govt.
What's next? Let's see- power has been handed to the VP, who is also in charge of the military. He has been responsible for incarceration and torture in the past. Military rule of law.
What could go wrong?
War with Israel-Islamic takeover of neighboring countries-instability of the entire region-Iran getting really ballsey-instability of Europe due to Islamic rabblerousers-an American President who if not a muslim is certainly a sympathizer of their cause.
Nah-nothing to see here, move along now, these are not the Jihadist's you are looking for.......
Caliphate?
You want some humorous reading?
You ought to read some of the comments posted on Yahoo's page regarding Mubarak stepping down. It is funny until you realize these people can vote.............
"US diplomats are very active currently, and are in contact with all major parties."
Gee, I feel better already.........................
One thing in those area of region works... money! $1.2 billion a year buys a peace cord, US is ready to shake hand with the lesser of evils AGAIN.
hehehe Marlin.. good catch.

They start messing with Mubarak money, this old guard will start messing with the country. Once a dictator is disposed and exiled, you leave them alone! They are just giving him more excuse to intervene again.
I guess I'm the only one not worried about israel.
if egypt tries to mess with them, israel will just end up owning the sinai peninsula again.
