I think some of the people of Egypt hope to chart their own destiny, thinking democracy is a road towards unalloyed freedom and that they can find a government which will listen to its people.
Foreign governments tend to develop relationships with incumbent powers and inevitably find themselves in conflict with the forces of revolutionary change.
I hope the Egyptian people can find their way towards the solution they want for themselves. But in the end, they will also have to find a way to deal with foreign governments.
