No... "Stay the hell out of it" was my original answer, and it still is.

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Anybody see Mubarak's speech just now? He struck me as a stubborn, delusional man - I don't think he's very grounded in reality of what's happening there.

My feeling is the US should support an orderly transition from Mubarak to the Egyptians choice of democratic self governance.
Creating a vacuum by Mubarak just leaving will just be Pandora's box with no control over whomever wants to try to take over.
With the military in power now, how long do you think they'll tolerate these demonstrators before using force to "calm" the populace in order to restart their economy.
How long before the military starts to like being in control?
Controlled, cooperative change for the benefit of themselves would seem to be the safest and most peacful way for the Egyptians to move forward and to keep our forces out of it.
Just my opinion!

Mubarak said he will not step down until September elections but will be transferring "some" authority to his VP. The bulk of the speech was about how much he's done for Egypt for his whole life. VP Suleiman is speaking right now about a transition and the door being open for dialogue. In the meantime, the crowd in the square was pissed off enough after Mubarak's speech that they started a march towards the palace.

Mubarak reminds me of a kid trying to dive off the high diving board for the first time..you go to the edge of the board and then go back to look at your friends at the bottom of the ladder, then you go back to the edge of the board...bounce up and down..you don't like that feeling, and down the ladder you go..Mubarak is doing the same thing! The adult kids in Egypt want to hang him for not jumping...JMTCW

Suleiman said in effect he is running things throughout the transition, wasn't received too well, and he asked the "young men of Egypt" to "go to your homes, go to your jobs." High levels of frustration and anger from the crowds in the square.
