The military, as this report shows, is most likely to ultimately adopt measures similar to Mubarrack. The opposition is most likely to adopt something that is more secular and democratic.
Either of these would be much, much better for U.S. interests, for peace in the Middle East, and for the Egyptians own well being than the Muslim Brotherhood's Fundamental Islam and Sharia LAw.
But, our President is all in with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. Soon, Mr. Barry Obamastan is going to either have to abadnon Morsi (showing his policy their for the farce it always was)...or try and prop Morsi up with US support...which would cause a very bloody civil war there, and would involve our own troops on the wrong side of the fight.

Even the muslims dont want to be ruled by the muslim brotherhood
They saw what happened to the people in Afghanistan and thaqt was a backwards craphole
Egypt is not neary so much, and depends a lot on tourist dollars. The tours must be way down
Why can’t 0bama or JF’nK just go there and straighten out their mess?
I must hope the military acts on this.
I propose that Obama go to Egypt, walk among the crowds, and give a really great speech. And then walk back through the crowd.
I just know they love him the same way our corrupt MSM says everybody loves him so it should really work out well.
Sounds to me like they ought to start over.
My administration has been closely monitoring the situation in Egypt, and I know that we will be learning more tomorrow when day breaks. As the situation continues to unfold, our first concern is preventing injury or loss of life. So I want to be very clear in calling upon the Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protesters.
The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere.
I also call upon the Egyptian government to reverse the actions that they’ve taken to interfere with access to the Internet, to cell phone service, and to social networks that do so much to connect people in the 21st Century.
At the same time, those protesting in the streets have the responsibility to express themselves peacefully. Violence and destruction will not lead to the reforms that they seek.
Now going forward, this moment of volatility that has to be turned into a moment of promise. The United States has a close partnership with Egypt. And we’ve cooperated on many issues, including working together to advance a more peaceful region.

It’s civilized when there is a rule of law agreed upon by the governed and the government. That is a CIVILization.
It’s as uncivilized as the era of warlords and “divine” kings once a country devolves into “whoever has the best weapons runes”.
