Hi Smilin' - I for one think, like most of my egyptian friends, that although yes, Mubarak has been in office for a long time and surely it is no Democracy here and more of a Dictatorship. But he kept the country stable, compared to other arab and african nations. If he gets removed through some kind of revolution (which won't happen, at least not in the near future), then what will follow would be worse.

The corruption in Egypt lies mostly with people in the Ministries and the Police...those should be removed. But then again, if things get totally screwed up and they really do something similar to Tunisia, I'm outta here...just like all the other expats and tourism will collapse, and then the country will see the difference and really suffer...then wish back the old days under Mubarak. He's not the real problem imo.
