I don't think its going to turn out well for the Egyptian people. Their miliatary and security services were trained by actual Nazi's after WW2 with of course US backup. The Tunisian revolts were backed by western powers, and that is not going to happen in Egypt. Jordan will just give some tokens to their citizens that the US will probably fund. As bad as these governments are, I don't see the inevitable muslim brotherhood successors to be any improvement. But from what I hear, we in the west can't even fathom the poverty in Cairo. But its great to hear how the govt cut off the internet once things got crazy, you know they'll do the same here in the US if any similar situation arose.
