Succession. The issue is succession. Mubarek is a pharaoh. He assumes his son will take over when he's gone. But that's not so clear, at least not as clear as the situation was in Syria and Jordan. An unstable anarchic Egypt is a poor option. And anyway, screw them. They've been living in squalor since the rule of Cleopatra. No 'regime change' can alter the destitute messed up life of Egyptians. The Bureaucrat Class exists, as it does everywhere in the world and especially in ex colonial states, for and of itself. They will make out ok no matter which gang of morons rules Egypt.

Note: this is also why any effort at 'fixing' Iran is pointless. The Bureaucrat Class is allowed their periodic street revolts. A few get beat up and shot and everyone goes back to their illegal satellite TV.
