Take a look at your senate.You think whoever takes over from Mubarak will leave that American money on the table? I highly doubt it.
No.
But I'd rather see a much more democratic Egypt.
No one should be in power for 30 years. That's nuts.
When did colonialism end?Is it coincidental that all the leaders you mentioned as well as the "Jewish Democracy" in Israel were all created by Western powers within the last century?I agree with you there but thats how it is in the region, look how long the leaders of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman etc were in power? Syrias President Bashar Assad took over in 2000 but his dad was President until he died.
What the hell? the whole Middle East was carved up by Western powers when coloniasm ended, what are you on about?

Is Mubarak independent of Washington?
"The US government has long corrupted Arab governments by paying rulers installed by the US to represent US/Israeli interests rather than the interest of Arab peoples.
"Arabs put up with American-financed oppression for many years, but now are showing signs of rebellion.
"The murderous American-installed dictator in Tunis was overthrown by people taking to the streets. Rebellion has spread to Egypt and there are also street protests against the US-supported rulers in Yemen and Jordan.
"These uprisings might succeed in ousting puppet rulers, but will the result be anything more than the exchange of a new American puppet ruler for the old?
"Mubarak might go, but whoever takes his place is likely to find himself wearing the same American harness."
The author of this article makes a pretty convincing argument it will be the demise of the US dollar that ultimately decides who goes and who stays in the Middle East.

Mubarak already passed the baton to one of his cronies, intelligence director Omar Suleiman. Mubarak will stay in office until they have the next fake election, and the cronies will stay in power.
Unless the people keep up the heat there will be no change in Egyptian politics.

Who do you have in mind to lead Egypt?

Who do you have in mind to lead Egypt?
Good question. Anyone worth while is in prison, exiled, or dead.
There is an honest, secular democracy movement in Egypt but they do not have the money and influence of the regime or the Islamists.

So until someone is ready is it the best thing to just throw Mubarak out now, and risk the whole thing descending into chaos?

That is a problem. The options are a power vacuum or same-o same-o with the current regime.
Maybe someone like ElBaradei can hold things together until the dust settles.
Well this is the Middle East, are you really that surprised? Mubarak isn't going to go quietly into the night regardless of what he says.

So Mubarak is just supposed to hand over to the reigns to his rival? how do you know Elbaradei is going to do any better than Mubarak? will Egypt turn into Sweden overnight under his leadership?

That would be hard to say. Elbaradei does not seem to be owned by anyone. That is a good start.

Doesn't he have ties to Hamas and the Brotherhood?

I have heard that rumor. They are not the Taleban, you know.
