Well, I think Mr. Mubarak has some duplicity going on, as do a lot of the other false-friends in the Middle East: they're usually very effective of blocking all political dissent EXCEPT that which is of salafist origin. The governments of such places are funding propaganda operations like Horseman Without A Horse and all the while, saying to the US "You MUST support _ME_, look at what horrible people would come to power if I should fall."

Or as Louis XV put it, "Apres moi, le deluge." A lot of our problems in the ME are of our own making.
