Corruption is also a concern of the Eqyptians.

...The fact that tycoons (click title to entry - thank you) close to the regime play an important role in politics is seen in Egypt as a sign of corruption, while Mubarak's son and previous heir apparent Gamal is also closely linked to the political-business milieu....

The USA can do very little to secure Egypt.  We aren't going to be invading, nor should the USA even think about it.  The best the USA can do is lend support to the people and demand the Egyptian government restrain from violence.

I believe Mr. El Baradei can be instrumental in reasonong with the people.  Confrontation should be minimized.  The people of Caoro cannot continue to destroy their city.

...As much as the U.S. (click here) would like to see protesters succeed in replacing Mubarak with a democracy, an Egyptian revolution, just like any revolution, would have to be organic and internal to be legitimate and successful....
