I am suspicious. These mass movements can lead to unpredictable and uncontrollable results. It may mask itself as a democratic movement only to hide the real culprit which could be an unfriendly plot. It is not as if I want to support an unacceptable regime, if that be the case. But what replaces it? What comes after? In my opinion, that is the real question. Simply replacing Mubarak doesn't solve anything. The only motivation could be to get rid of someone who is friendly toward the US and Israel. Therefore, I am suspicious.
Democracy is not respected by dictators. Take a look at Mugabe in Zimbabwe. He loses an election and remains in power anyway. Democracy only becomes the excuse. The path to power. Once obtained, it is never relinquished. Take a look at Hitler. He rose to power by means of democratic institutions. Once in power, he plunged the world into war. Look at Castro in Cuba. He says he's not a communist, but once in power, he becomes one. Another modern day example is Chavez in Venezuela. He wants to be president for life. That doesn't sound like democracy does it? But that is how he got into power in the first place.
