I think Mubarak is doomed. The dilemma who will take over stays - the islamist or more secular circles. Yet, it is quite likely Israel to find himself in a more hostile environment than it is now. IMHO it is also very important that the USA doesn't try to influence the tide of events. Lessons from past (Iran) showed this is very counter-productive.
On a different aspect, the Jasmin Revolution in Tunis turned out to be contagious. It already reached Egypt and Jordan. I think any country in the region can be next. Lybia and Syria for example. I wonder how this will affect the Iranian regime that has also become quite unpopular. We may witness serious, even surprising rearrangement in the Middle East.
Kage, I am not even sure if the army can do something for Mubarak. The shah was not saved by the bullets of the army, I doubt Mubarak could be. It will only lead to innocent casualties and radicalize the revolution.
